WHAT MAKES WARSAW JUMPING UNIQUE?

ONE PLACE – THREE WORLDS

Warsaw Jumping is not only sporting rivalry at the highest level, world-class competitors and magnificent horses. The four-day competition on the parcours is ideally complemented by horse races with which the Służewiec Racecourse is famous. On the green racecourse, from April to November, extremely fast and valiant race horses are presented. Fans of Warsaw Jumping on both Saturday and Sunday will be able to enter the venue for free and admire the struggles on the green track. Traditionally, a show race will be held this weekend, in which competitors who normally compete in show jumping will get on race horses and try their hand at the green track.

Służewiec Racecourse is the largest horse racing track in Poland, which impresses with its architecture and greenery. The 138-hectare racing complex, called the pearl of European and world hippic architecture, boasts a number of modern solutions. In addition to exciting races, it regularly hosts sporting and cultural events, concerts, galas, film sets and photo shoots. Varsovians eagerly visit the site to spend time in unusual circumstances surrounded by greenery. This year Służewiec Racecourse is celebrating its 85th anniversary and the ongoing racing season is the 80th in its rich history.

Parallel to show jumping and racing, the Hobby Horse competition will take place. The competition within the “Skok na Tor” league organised by Służewiec Racecourse has been going on since April. The league is of great interest to children and young people and promotes a healthy, sporty lifestyle among them. The best Hobby Horse riders will compete in the final on the beautiful Warsaw parcour during Warsaw Jumping.
