Lovers of equestrian events, races, shows, Graignes is nationally known: it displays a real standing, by its dimensions (ash track, left rope, approved trotting track with bungee start, 1,034 meters long and 20 meters wide, 4,200 meters obstacle course, panoramic restaurant with 400 seats, 100 boxes, 2,500 parking spaces ...). Today, the racecourse hosts 30 annual trotting meetings, and has a nice panoramic restaurant for which booking on race days is highly recommended!

It is also called "Hippodrome Maurice Jan" or "Hippodrome de Pontorson - Mont-Saint-Michel": this 1,200-metre sand track with a left-hand rope allows regular trotting races to be held, in a splendid setting, with the beautiful silhouette of Mont only a few kilometres away. The adjacent facilities (building, grandstands) are modern, and the races, some of which are very popular, are mainly organised during the summer period.

With its 1,100-meter grass track and functional infrastructure, it is a popular venue for professionals and spectators alike. The racecourse was launched in 1946 by Gabriel Lefranc and has been hosting horse races since 1950. In 1991, it was renamed in tribute to its founder. Over the years, numerous works have been carried out to improve the facilities, including the refurbishment of the ring and the construction of a new grandstand. The racecourse also contributes to the local economy by hosting various events such as circuses, sports competitions and association meetings. It is considered one of the coast's tourist attractions and contributes to the liveliness of the region.

This racecourse is managed by the Villedieu racing society: the latter, created at the end of the 1940s, offers a dozen or so races a year, which are held on the Saultchevreuil racecourse. The latter, located near the town centre, has a beautiful sand track with a right-hand rope. The grandstands will allow you to sit in the best conditions to enjoy the races you have bet on!

The Hippodrome des Grèves is a racetrack located in Marcey-les-Grèves, in the town of Vains.

This meeting is entirely devoted to trotters and starts at 1:30 pm. Several races are on the program, including three women's specials, two professional (one mounted and one harnessed) and a third for harnessed women. Spectators will be able to place bets and win numerous prizes. For families, there will also be a hippokid's village and an inflatable structure. Catering will be available on site. A health pass is required with proof of identity. This event promises to be an intense moment of family sharing.

The Bec d'Andaine racecourse in Genêts is a must for horse racing enthusiasts. Managed by the Société de courses de Genêts since 1895, it features a 1,000-metre grass track with a breathtaking view of Mont-Saint-Michel and Tombelaine from the stands. Situated on the Herbus maritime estate, it is built on spit, which gives it a supple surface, except in rainy weather when it can become greasy. It is important to note that the racecourse is completely flooded by the sea when the tidal coefficient exceeds 110. Spectators can enjoy catering under a marquee, as well as a refreshment bar and galettes saucisses.

Experts or neophytes, a visit to a racecourse is always an experience to be lived. At the Hippodrome de la Glacerie, which mainly hosts trotting races, it is a high-quality facility that you are invited to discover. In addition to the 1,200-metre long and 26-metre wide sand track, the racecourse also has an indoor track with a bar-restaurant from which the track is open to you: a unique experience.
