The Hippodrome de la Plage is located by the sea, Hyères, on the Var coast, near the marina of the resort.
The management of this racetrack created at the dawn of the twentieth century is ensured since 1931 by the association of the Société Hippique du Var. Covering a total of twenty hectares, the racecourse has two tracks. The first is 1500 m long including 450 m of straight line and the second is 1200 m long.
Twenty meetings are organized from April to October, the majority giving rise to mutual wagers (regional or national). The trotting races are the most numerous, but the racecourse also hosts flat races and obstacles. It is also appreciated by some owners and managers as a training center.
The racecourse finally has a platform that can accommodate some 2000 spectators including a panoramic restaurant open only on race days.
Exceptionally, non-equestrian events are hosted: in 2015, this is where the European cross-country championships were organized.
Price (the days of races): 5 euros. Information on +33 4 94 57 36 22 or +33 6 76 90 78 39.
