The most notable race held at Huntingdon Racecourse is the Peterborough Chase in December.

In 1920, the racecourse was part of the Huntingdon Steeplechase Group managed by Bob Lenton for 25 years.

[1] In 1953, chairman of the committee John Goodcliff managed construction of the grandstand that still stands on the racecourse today.

It sits on the flood plain of Alconbury Brook and has a number of rare species including the largest population of green-winged orchids in the UK.

[11][12] Over the years, Huntingdon Racecourse has suffered with extensive flooding which has caused a number of race days to be postponed.
