Omey Races 2024

Horse racing on Omey Strand 🏇

It has not yet confirmed if the Omey Races will proceed in 2024.

The Omey Races usually take place annually on the strand at Omey Strand, Claddaghduff in Connemara, however unfortunately due to insurance difficulties in 2022 and 2023 the Omey Races were cancelled. It is hoped the event will return as normal in 2024. The annual summer races have been steadily attracting greater numbers every year for a wonderful day of sand, sea, possibly sun and of course, horse racing.

With up to nine races on the card, there’s opportunities for young, upcoming jockeys to hone their skills, while providing a great day out for spectators. The first race will be off at 1pm sharp.
