Grand National Course Walks

As in previous years, course walks with Jockey Coaches will be available at the Randox Grand National Festival. Please note, the course walk is MANDATORY for any rider who has not ridden over the Grand National fences more than twice at a Grand National Festival.

The walks will leave the Weighing Room at 10.30am on all three days, or at other times by prior arrangement with the Jockey Coaches. On Thursday this will be Brian Harding, and on Friday and Saturday dual Grand National winning jockey, Carl Llewellyn. Course walks are available to all jockeys who are riding in the Topham and the Grand National and also ANY AMATEUR JOCKEYS WHO ARE RIDING IN THE FOXHUNTERS ON THURSDAY.

Those who are required to walk the course will be notified by the BHA at the declaration stage. Other jockeys are equally welcome, and actively encouraged, to walk the course.
