The racecourse hosts flat and since 1987, national hunt races throughout the year on the one course that is used for both flat and jumps races.
The Musselburgh course is around 1 mile and 2 furlongs in length with a final home straight of 4 furlongs.
The track is right-handed and compact oval in shape and is mainly flat with two tight bends.
