Physical attributes
Nakayama Race Course has two grass courses, a dirt course, and a jump course.
The turf's outer oval (外回り, sotomawari) measures 1840m (1 1/8 miles + 97 feet) with a 1600m and a 2200m chute, and the inner oval (内回り, uchimawari) measures 1667m (1 mile + 189 feet) with a 1400m chute. Races can be run on the "A Course" rail setting (on the hedge), the "B Course" setting (rail out 3 meters), or the "C Course" setting (rail out 7 meters).
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 (7/8 mile + 278 feet), 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 particular 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.
