Uttoxeter Racecourse is a National Hunt racecourse in the town of Uttoxeter, in Staffordshire, England.

Uttoxeter is a left-handed oval shaped course of one mile two and a half furlongs in circumference.

The back ‘straight’ has a dog-leg to the right and is undulating as it rises over Clump Hill. The course continues with a downhill run around the far bend into the home straight.

The home straight of four furlongs is flat and galloping ensuring fair and competitive finishes to most races including the signature staying chases. The nature of the track often enables front-running tactics to pay off.

Dating back to the early 1900s Uttoxeter has raced through some of the most important historic events of the last Millennium.
