Clonmel Racecourse

Powerstown Race Course with sensational views and a lively ambiance will ensure the day's experience becomes the best social outing you can have.
Clonmel Racecourse (Powerstown Park) has been a popular venue for horse racing for more than 150 years. The racecourse is a right handed track of one and a quarter miles. It is recognised as a demanding National Hunt course with a stiff uphill climb followed by a gradual downhill run with an uphill finish. Viewing of racing from all points in the enclosure is exceptional. An abundance of mature trees and shrubs enhance the aesthetic quality of the 160 acre racecourse environment.
Clonmel Racecourse has grown and developed over a period of 150 tears. Today, it is not uncommon to have in excess of 120 horses running at any one meeting. In 1988 a Supporters Club was formed whose aim is to promote racing at Clonmel by obtaining additional sponsorship, increasing prize money and improving amenities and further encourage local interest and involvement.
