Free admission at Tipperary greyhound racing tracks this weekend

Ag Rásaíocht Le Chéile (Racing Together) returns to Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) stadia nationwide this weekend for a third year. 

GRI is offering the chance for people to attend their local greyhound stadium free of charge and enjoy top class entertainment, food, racing and atmosphere.

After the success of previous years, Greyhound Racing Ireland is once again hosting an open night at the races with free admission on various dates at venues nationwide from Thursday to Saturday, November 9–11.

This includes Clonmel on Friday and Thurles on Saturday. 

As the name Racing Together suggests, these Open Evenings were first introduced to greyhound stadia in 2021 to offer potential visitors an opportunity to see what "a night at the dogs" is all about.  

John Tuohey, Interim CEO of Greyhound Racing Ireland, said: "I would ask those who are thinking of hosting a fundraising evening, company night out or just want to see what a night of greyhound racing is all about, to come along and join us at one of our stadia nationwide for our open evenings".

He continued: "Admission is free and The Irish Retired Greyhound Trust ambassadors will also be on site with their canine companions to chat about what fantastic pets greyhounds make once their racing careers are over".

Racecards will be sold separately at a cost of €3. Free general admission does not apply to restaurant packages or group offers.
