The Pinehurst Harness Track is nestled in the heart of historic Pinehurst, North 
Carolina and is the oldest continuously operating equine sports facility in the state.

The 111-acre Harness Track has been a winter training center for Standardbred horses since 1915. Champion trotters and pacers train on either the 1/2-mile sand/ clay track, the 5/8-mile sand/jog track, or the 1-mile clay track, all of which serve as ideal winter training grounds from Oct 15 to May 1 each year. 
More information about Standardbred Training.

The grounds offer 17 center-aisle barns with over 280 stalls, grooms’ quarters, RV hook-ups and paddocks.

Equine events such as polocrosse, dressage and hunter-jumper competitions are held on in the track infields. A permanent outdoor show/riding arena is available on the infield of the 1/2-mile track.

The facilities are a perfect venue for concerts, fairs, festivals and other large events as well as for athletics such as rugby. The facility is centrally located with easy access and lots of parking.
