Kilbeggan's valuable  Midlands National Handicap Chase takes place on 11th July 2025 and is  a recognised trial for the Galway Plate and other major festival races. An event not to be missed, the racecourse also hosts a sustainable style ladies competition, a modern concept where ladies are given a chance to re-wear, upcycle or create outfits that are centred around the topic of ethical fashion. 

The racecourse caters for all hospitality, facilities for gourmet meals and special discounted packages for larger groups.  Free parking a short distance from the track allows for easy accessibility for everyone.
