FAQs On Gymkhana Race Course
Jorhat, Assam, India
The Gymkhana Race Course in Jorhat is a historically significant and vibrant part of the Jorhat Gymkhana Club, an institution established way back in 1876. This race course holds the distinction of being the oldest operating horse racing track in India, a legacy that dates back to the British colon ial era when horse racing was a popular pastime among the tea planters and administrators. The race course is a sprawling green oval, meticulously maintained, and provides a picturesque setting for the annual Jorhat Race. The Jorhat Race, typically held during the cooler months, usually in December or January, is a major social event in the region. It draws not only racing enthusiasts but also a large number of locals and tourists who come to experience the unique blend of tradition, excitement, and social gaiety. The atmosphere during race days is festive, with spectators cheering on the horses and jockeys, much like a mini-Derby. Beyond the races, the well-kept grounds and track offer a sense of grandeur and a connection to a bygone era. Even outside of race season, the race course provides a vast open green space, popular for morning walks, jogging, and general recreational activities for local residents. The sight of horses being trained or exercised on the track can often be seen. The Gymkhana Race Course is more than just a sports venue; it's a living piece of Jorhat's colonial heritage and a cultural landmark that continues to thrive. It offers a unique window into the social life and historical past of the tea-planting community in Assam, distinguishing Jorhat as a city with a sporting legacy that very few other places in India can boast of.
