Student race day returns to Limerick Racecourse

The SPIN South West Student Race-day is back on and taking place on Thursday, April 7, at Limerick Racecourse.

The last student race-day took place back in 2019 and the track said it was delighted to announce its return after a two-year gap due to Covid restrictions.

Tickets are going on sale this Thursday morning, February 17, at 11am on www.limerickraces.ie and there is expected to be high demand.

Tickets are going to be limited to a maximum of two per person in the interest of fairness.

A racecourse spokes person said, “We are pleased to partner up with SPIN South West once again as our sponsors for the event.

“SPIN will be there on the day to welcome students and bang out the freshest hits. With SPIN resident DJ’s, the crowd can expect to be entertained before, during and after the races.”

Content director at SPIN South West, Eoghain Fitzgerald commented “We are delighted to be teaming up with Limerick Racecourse again for the biggest student event of the year.
“We have gone through two years without partying with our listeners due to Covid-19. Now that we can party again in a safe way, we can’t wait to play the hits and soak up the atmosphere at the best student event of the year.”

There will be seven National Hunt races on the day with the 1st race scheduled to take off at 2pm.

The course has also partnered with JJ Kavanagh & Sons which will be running bus transfers to and from the racecourse on the day.
