MILDENHALL GREYHOUND STADIUM

This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for the scans of badges on this page.

The Suffolk town of Mildenhall has a greyhound track situated at 0° 25' E 52° 22' N. It has raced under NGRC rules throughout its history. The track is shared between speedway and greyhound racing and can be located on Hayland Drove. It traditionally runs greyhound races on Tuesday and Friday evenings, with sprints over 220 metres, standard races over 375 metres and has been know to put on marathons over the extended 1025 metres.

Mildenhall has a fully operational greyhound track and details of their meetings can be found by linking to

Track Records, as of September 2014, are shown below together with an indication of how fast the time is in comparison to other tracks, both for currently open and defunct tracks, in the UK. Ratings are between 0 and 100, where 100 is an extremely fast time and reflects the speed of the track, tightness of the circuit and quality of greyhound visiting the tracks.
