Redcar Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located in Redcar, North Yorkshire, England.
Its address is Redcar Racecourse Ltd, Thrush Road, Redcar TS10 2BY.
Redcar is Cleveland's seaside track, oval-shaped and perfectly flat. The present racecourse was opened in 1870, or 1875 and prior to this Redcar races were held on the sands at Coatham.
The course itself is a left handed oval of just over 1m 4f with relatively tight banked bends. There is also a 3f chute that joins the track where the top bend meets the straight, providing a 1m straight course, purported to be the only 'Straight Mile' in the UK that is straight and level.
