The fifth annual fall harness racing season will take place in Woodstock, Virginia at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds. The five meet will begin September 18 and run through October 17 with race programs every Friday and Saturday at 2 PM. Due to the COVID pandemic, the meet will be run “spectator-free” and wagering will not be available.
Woodstock is located halfway between Harrisonburg and Winchester off I-81 at Exit 283. Harness racing has taken place in Woodstock for 102 years.
Pacers and trotters compete over a one half mile oval in at least ten races every day. Parking and admission are free and the races are family friendly. We look forward to the 2021 season when both fans and wagering can return! The 2020 race season will be streamed live at www.shenandoahdowns.com so fans can still enjoy the action virtually.
