It’s been a while since the trotters visited us at the racetrack, but we have a long history together.

Until a few years ago, harness races were regularly held as part of the horse racing days in Munich-Riem. This year, there’s a revival. And what better race day than the Oktoberfest After-Work Race Day on September 18th?

In addition to the six flat races scheduled for this race day, the Munich Racing Club has announced a 2,000-meter trotting race. Horses with prize money of up to €37,500 are eligible to compete in the race, which carries a purse of €4,000.

The Munich Racing Club is also looking forward to a new program item on Oktoberfest race day. As in previous years, there will be live music on the terrace of the Wirtshaus zur Rennbahn after the last race.

Visitors who arrive in traditional costume can also look forward to a surprise (while supplies last). Let’s get in the mood for Oktoberfest 2025 together!
