Listowel Racecourse is a horse racing venue in the town of Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland which stages both National Hunt and Flat racing. The course is flat and run left handed over an inner rectangular shaped circuit measuring just over a mile, and a triangular outer circuit of a mile and a furlong. There is a chute for the 7 furlong and 1 mile races. The current racecourse which is close to the town centre first opened in 1858 and celebrated its 150th Anniversary in 2008.[1] FestivalListowel's major race festival, the harvest festival, which was originally known as the North Kerry Hunt Steeplechase Meeting takes place each year in September over seven days with both national hunt and flat races taking place.

In total nine meetings take place each year with a two-day meeting every June. Guinness Kerry NationalThe most valuable race run at Listowel is the Guinness Kerry National. It is run on the Wednesday of the Harvest Festival over a distance of 3 miles and worth €160,000 in prize money. Previous winners include the Aintree Grand National winner Monty's Pass.
