The racing year, seen from Fort Road

10.3.1Two calendars in one building

A guest on Fort Road lives with two racing calendars at once. The first is the simulcast calendar of the off-track lounge in the hotel building, which the hotel describes as covering tracks across North America and Australia seven days a week. The second is the live calendar of Century Mile, the operator's track about 38 km south. The first never stops; the second changes with the seasons.

10.3.2Month by month

We have not filled in individual race days for spring and autumn because the sources we read give the total allocation, not each date. The track publishes its own calendar.

10.3.3Three ways to build a stay around racing

1. The winter afternoon. A Saturday harness card with a 12:45 pm first post, a drive back north and a comedy show in the evening. Two venues, one night's stay.
2. The summer opening. Opening day of the flat season falls inside the May–August period that the operator calls the busiest for its parlours. Request early.
3. The screen-only weekend. No drive at all: simulcasts in the lounge, dinner at the Grill, a bed upstairs.

10.3.4What we did not find

• A shuttle between the hotel and Century Mile — none is mentioned in our sources.
• Public transit to the track — Route 747 serves the airport terminal, not the racetrack.
• 2027 race dates — not published when we checked.

The off-track betting calendar is published on the hotel's official site.Official site: cnty.com/edmonton ↗
