Utena Hippodrome, Rašė Hippodrome
A hippodrome, not the neighbouring stadium
The complex at 97 Užpalių Street serves horse racing, training, and testing. Its sandy oval, white rails, spectator stand, and stable grounds create a venue distinct from the nearby football and baseball facilities.
Rašė Hippodrome lies east of the Užpalių Street junction, separate from Utenis and Vėtra stadiums. The coordinates are a representative point within the complex, not a particular gate or parking entrance.
Reconstruction changed the track and event infrastructure
Utena Rašė Hippodrome was reconstructed in 2010-2013, including the track, stand, parking, and adjacent stable territory.
The venue also belongs to Lithuanian harness-racing history: Sartai races were held here from 1989 to 1994 before returning to Dusetos. Check the current programme separately.
Plan a visit around a specific event
Regular daily opening hours, a permanent ticket office, and free access to training are unconfirmed. Choose a public event and check the organiser's current ticket, gate, parking, and safety information before travelling.
The VII Utena Hippodrome Marathon was scheduled for 3 October 2026. Event dates and programmes can change, so confirm the current information before travelling.
Safe attendance at the hippodrome
The hippodrome is active sports and event infrastructure. Respect barriers, never enter the track or stable areas without permission, and avoid disturbing horses or training activity.
During a public event, remain in the spectator areas designated by the organiser and do not explore outlying parts of the complex alone. Confirm the entry and parking location before arriving because the coordinates mark the complex interior.
