About Atlantic City Race Course

The Atlantic City Race Course in Mays Landing, part of Hamilton Township in Atlantic County, New Jersey, is a historic thoroughbred flat-racing venue with a storied past dating back to its opening in 1946. While live racing at the venue paused after the 1998-2010 era and the last live meets concluded in 2010, the site remains a landmark in the region’s racing history and has continued to influence redevelopment discussions, transit planning, and local history. With a standing capacity of up to 25,000 and stands seating for 10,000, the venue historically accommodated events with tens of thousands of attendees, including notable races and cultural events. In recent years, development discussions have connected the site to broader regional plans, including transit and potential mixed-use projects. For travelers visiting the area, Atlantic City Race Course stands as a reference point for the region’s racing heritage and local redevelopment story.
