Cartmel Racecourse is a small racecourse in the village of Cartmel, Cumbria. Meetings are held on the May and August Bank Holidays. Although the racecourse is small, it is noted as having a four furlong run-in, the longest in Britain.

Cartmel was the site of the Gay Future 'coup' in 1974 that involved switching horses before a race and relying on the lack of communications at the course. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/2295403.stm] It is also known amongst racegoers for the track leading up to and away from the course.
