Ballybrit Racecourse

It is located in the townland of Ballybrit, in the environs of Castlegar, just north of the N6 Bóthar na dTreabh, c.6 km northeast of Galway city.

Ballybrit is a right-handed course of about one mile and three furlongs, with a steep decline into the dip where the last two fences are situated.

[1][2] As part of his visit to Ireland in 1979, Pope John Paul II celebrated mass at the racecourse for two hundred and eighty thousand people.

In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland, the racecourse was used as a mass vaccination centre.
