Mascot Grand National moves to Kempton

The Mascot Grand National – the madcap race that attracts a worldwide television and online audience for the crazy antics of the participants – is moving to Kempton Park Racecourse.

The hilarious occasion during which up to 100 mascots run, walk, stagger and stumble over obstacles on a gruelling course is to be held at the Sunbury racecourse for the first time next May.

Established in 1999, the Mascot Grand National has been run 12 times at Huntingdon Racecourse which, like Kempton Park, is part of Jockey Club Racecourses.

Amy Starkey, Kempton Park's managing director who previously held the same position at Huntingdon, said: "We're delighted to be bringing the Mascot Grand National to Kempton Park.

"From next May – when we will stage the race on the Bank Holiday Monday at the start of the month – it will be bigger and more exciting than ever before.

"I know from my time as managing director of Huntingdon Racecourse how much fun the Mascot Grand National is and how much the public love it. Moving to Kempton Park will be a new era for the race when we will showcase how much enjoyment there can be when mascots from a host of sporting clubs and other organisations get together.

"The mascots are really enthusiastic about it too because it's an occasion when they can all gather, raise money for charity and meet their fans. The football mascots are especially passionate about it."

Mascots the length and breadth of the country step up their training as they prepare for the big day.

There's been mayhem, controversy, accusations of gamesmanship, and claims of 'ringers' over the years since the race was first run, but strict rules ensure good clean fun.

1999: The Mascot Grand National was born as 17 mascots took part in one of the most unusual sights ever seen on a racecourse. Beau Brummie Bulldog, of Birmingham City FC, won.
