Connecting racegoers, participants, staff and operations across large and dynamic racing venues.

Racecourse Maps, Navigation & Visitor Experience

Racecourses can include multiple entrances, grandstands, members areas, hospitality venues, lawns, marquees, entertainment zones, mounting yards, food and beverage outlets, parking areas and transport connections spread across a large site.

Geoshare could provide racegoers with an event-specific map displaying useful locations such as entrances, grandstands, amenities, first aid, accessible facilities, dining and bars, hospitality areas, entertainment, merchandise, parking, public transport, rideshare points and designated meeting locations.

Visitors attending with family, friends or colleagues could also privately share their live locations with each other during the race day, making it easier to meet on arrival, find each other across the racecourse and regroup after separating.

Race Day Operations & Venue Management

Race days can involve large numbers of staff and service providers working across public areas, racing operations, hospitality facilities, entrances, transport areas and back-of-house locations.

Geoshare could help authorized venue and event teams coordinate across the racecourse by establishing operational groups around an individual race meeting, shift, work area or function.

Operational maps could display approved access points, work areas, temporary facilities, restricted zones, closures, incident locations and other information relevant to the particular race day.

Racing Participants, Officials & Support Teams

Racecourses bring together owners, trainers, jockeys, officials, stewards, veterinarians, stable personnel, media and other racing participants who may need to move between different areas throughout the day.

Geoshare could help authorized groups coordinate arrivals, meeting locations and movements between relevant facilities such as participant entrances, horse stalls, mounting yards, parade areas, jockey facilities, veterinary areas, media locations and other approved destinations.

Temporary Geoshare groups may also be useful for visiting participants who are unfamiliar with the racecourse or are attending for a particular meeting or carnival.

Staff, Contractors & Service Providers

Major race meetings can require permanent employees, casual staff, security personnel, caterers, cleaners, contractors, technicians, entertainment providers, suppliers and other service teams from multiple organizations.

Geoshare could provide a common coordination layer for selected participants without requiring every person to become part of the racecourse operator’s permanent technology environment.

Groups could be established for event setup, hospitality, cleaning, maintenance, security, technical services, contractor works or other defined activities, with location sharing ending when the relevant event or work period concludes.

Members, Hospitality & Corporate Areas

Major racecourses can contain extensive members facilities, corporate hospitality areas, marquees, restaurants, lounges and private event spaces.

Geoshare could help visitors locate their particular hospitality destination and coordinate meeting points with their own invited groups.

Hospitality and guest-services teams could also use operational groups to coordinate hosts, staff, suppliers and other authorized personnel across different areas of the racecourse.

Carnivals, Major Meetings & Temporary Precincts

Major racing carnivals can substantially transform a racecourse, introducing temporary marquees, entertainment areas, sponsor activations, hospitality precincts, additional entrances, altered pedestrian routes and other event-specific infrastructure.

Geoshare could support maps and coordination groups tailored to each meeting or carnival, allowing the racecourse experience to reflect the particular configuration in place on that day.

This could be particularly useful where the same venue operates very differently for a major carnival than it does for a regular race meeting.

Security, Safety & Emergency Response

Large race meetings may require coordination between venue security, medical teams, event operations, contractors and external emergency services across a broad site.

Authorized operational maps could identify incident locations, first aid points, emergency access routes, muster locations, restricted areas and temporary exclusions.

Participating personnel could securely share their live or last-known locations during an active response. Where appropriate, external emergency services could also be invited into a defined Geoshare event to assist coordination across organizational and technology boundaries.

Transport, Parking & Racecourse Arrivals

Racecourse arrivals and departures can involve trains, trams, buses, parking areas, taxis, rideshare services, private vehicles, pedestrian routes and temporary traffic arrangements.

Geoshare maps could help racegoers understand their arrival options, locate the appropriate entrance and identify parking, public transport, rideshare and meeting locations.

Operational teams could also use Geoshare to coordinate authorized transport, parking, traffic and arrival personnel working around the venue.

Accessibility & Guest Assistance

Large racecourses can be challenging to navigate for visitors with limited mobility or additional accessibility requirements.

Geoshare maps could highlight accessible entrances, parking, viewing locations, amenities, transport options and other relevant facilities.

Where appropriate, guest-services teams could also use Geoshare to coordinate assistance requests and staff operating across the racecourse.

Events Beyond Racing

Racecourses may also host concerts, functions, exhibitions, community events, private events and other activities outside traditional race meetings.

Geoshare could support event-specific visitor maps and operational groups for these different uses, allowing the venue configuration, entrances, activity areas and operational information to change with each event.

Setup, Pack-Down, Maintenance & Venue Works

Racecourses require considerable activity outside race-day operating hours, including maintenance, temporary infrastructure, hospitality setup, event production, cleaning and contractor works.

Geoshare could help coordinate maintenance personnel, contractors, suppliers, production crews and other teams involved in setup, changeovers, infrastructure works and pack-down activities.

Location sharing could be limited to approved work periods or operational groups, providing useful visibility without creating continuous workforce tracking.

Geoshare is designed to provide an additional location and communications layer for visitor and operational coordination. It is not intended to replace racing operations systems, access control, ticketing, accreditation, security systems, emergency management procedures, radios, racing integrity systems or other safety-critical systems. Location accuracy may vary depending on the device, connectivity and operating environment.

Location sharing is participant-controlled and can be limited to a defined event, group or operating period.
