Physical attributes
Nakayama Race Course has two grass courses, a dirt course and a jump course.The turf's outer oval measures 1840m with 1600m and 2200m chutes, and the inner oval measures 1667m with a 1400m chute. Races can be run on the "A Course" rail setting, the "B Course" setting, or the "C Course" setting.
1000m, 1400m, 1800m, 2000m, 2500m and 3600m races run on the inner oval, while 1200m, 1600m, 2200m, 2600m and 4000m races run on the outer oval. 3200m races run on the outer oval first, then the inner oval.
The dirt course measures 1493 meters, with a 1200m chute.
The jump course is unique because several different configurations can be used. In all races, horses must drop and climb over steep embankments at the rear of the course. One configuration contains the two most difficult jumps on the course, and is used only a few times a year, particularly for the Nakayama Grand Jump and Nakayama Daishogai races.
