Let's Run Park Yeongcheon unveils October racing schedule with Sunday live meets

Let's Run Park Yeongcheon is offering a special weekend racing experience under the clear autumn skies this October.

Korea Racing Authority announced Friday that Let's Run Park Yeongcheon has released its October racing schedule, featuring 30 races across five weekends to mark the crisp autumn season.

Visitors can enjoy horse racing throughout the entire weekend. On Fridays and Saturdays, major races from Seoul, Busan and Jeju will be broadcast on large screens, while Sundays bring live racing directly on the Yeongcheon track.

The Sunday live meets follow the "regional circuit racing" format — a first of its kind in South Korea — in which top racehorses from the Busan-South Gyeongsang area travel to Yeongcheon to compete.

Live racing at Yeongcheon runs every Sunday from Oct. 4 through Nov. 1, with six races per day held from 12:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., for a total of 30 races over the five-week period.

The Yeongcheon races span a range of distances — from 1,200 meters to 1,800 meters — offering varied viewing highlights each week, from pure speed contests to tests of jockey endurance.

Relay broadcasts will also bring major stakes races from Seoul and Busan-South Gyeongsang to Yeongcheon screens, including the President's Cup on Oct. 11 and the South Gyeongsang Governor's Cup on Oct. 23, adding to the excitement of the autumn racing season.
