Marseille-Vivaux Racecourse
Marseille-Vivaux Racecourse is a horse-racing track in Marseille, France. It opened in 1927, at Bd Mireille Lauze.
History
It inaugurated in 1927 at Boulevard Mireille Lauze – 13010, in the Marseille district of Pont-de-Vivaux. Marseille Vivaux is formally known as Marseille Pont De Vivaux, featuring three disciplines, the flat, trot, and obstacle, with a steeplechase course in eight. In 1990, it underwent major renovations to the tracks and buildings, including the panoramic restaurant’s establishment and the lighting of the tracks for evening races. In 2009, the flat track was renovated to create a fiber-sand track called “all-weather”. Furthermore, in the same year (2009), Marseille Vivaux and Marseille Borely, two racing companies, merged to form the current Société Hippique de Marseille. Today, it is one of the most active racing companies in France.
In spring 2017, it modified the steps, creating an owners’ lounge with a private terrace and extension of the brasserie to the exterior, on the edge of the slopes.
Track Details
It has a 1,000-meter pozzolana track dedicated to trotters with a bungee start, with a straight line measuring 280 meters. The other track is a 1,175-meter grass track reserved for gallopers in flat or in obstacles. The track is a regional Category 1R pole on the flat and Category 1 over the obstacle.
