Spectators are invited to the Pinehurst Harnes Track to watch as the Standardbred horses complete their winter training. Horses can be viewed October-April. You may park very close to the track and watch horses train or tour the track on foot. They are typically out Monday-Saturday, 7am-12pm, roughly.

“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, including 10 champions. Now a harness racing landmark and home to an annual matinee, the Harness Track was placed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Pinehurst’s mild winters, along with our superior amenities, make the Harness Track an ideal facility for boarding, training, and racing Standardbreds. Here you will find both a piece of history and the home of champions.”
