Description

Information

La Zarzuela Racecourse, an architectural gem and a prime example of Madrid Rationalism, kicked off the new season on 1 March but had to cancel it shortly afterwards as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. On 14 June, however, races started up again, initially behind closed doors. On 28 June the racecourse once again opened its doors to the public, with a limited number of attendees (60% till 12 July when it will go up to 75%), compulsory face masks and online tickets.

There will be a total of 11 days of racing (Sundays 14 Jun to 12 Jul and 13 to 27 Sep / Thurs 9 Jul to 13 Aug) and 55 races. During this exceptional spring-summer season the racecourse will be holding some of the races that were cancelled in April and May. There will be five Sundays featuring five races.

In addition, both daytime and evening races will be held on Thursdays in July and August. A total of five races will be run each day on grass or turf depending on the number of people allowed by each fase of the deescalation plan.
