MUNSTER’S biggest and best racing festival – that is how Listowel brands its seven-day Harvest Racing Festival which this year runs from Sunday, September 9th, to Saturday 15th.

This year Listowel Race Company is celebrating 160 years of sport at the scenic course, making it one of the longest established race meetings in Ireland today. Yes, racing first took place in 1858 – a full 12 years before The Irish Field was founded and could even report on this important event!
