  Hawthorne Race Course has served as Chicago's hometown track since 1891, making it the oldest sporting venue in Illinois.

The main venue accommodates group events alongside live racing on Thursdays and Sundays, offering guests the backdrop of an active track with multiple large-screen viewing areas and food and beverage service throughout. For groups, the combination of live racing atmosphere and on-site dining creates an experience that goes well beyond a typical event space.
