Das Thüringer Ascot ...
Das Thüringer Ascot ... Mitten in Thüringen liegt die ehemalige Rennbahn des Herzogtums Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha. Ein traumhafter Blick auf die Residenzstadt Gotha mit dem Schloss Friedenstein und auf den Thüringer Wald machen aus der Naturbahn ein beliebtes Naherholungsgebiet. Die prachtvolle Tribüne im viktorianischen Stil ist Zeugin vieler großer Pferderennen und macht den Charme der Anlage aus. Der Boxberg zählt zu den längsten Flachrennbahnen Deutschlands. Renntage auf dem Boxberg sind unvergessliche Augenblicke, in denen die Vergangenheit die Gegenwart berührt. Geschichte: Seit 1842 finden auf dem Gelände, das eigentlich ein Exerzierplatz war, Pferderennen statt. Unter der Förderung des Herzogtums Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha wurde 1878 der Mitteldeutsche Rennverein mit dem Ziel der Errichtung einer Pferderennbahn auf dem 80 Hektar großen Areal gegründet. In den darauf folgenden Jahren entstand dann die noch heute erhaltene Anlage mit einer im englischen Stil erbauten Holztribüne. Bis 2011 fanden regelmäßig Galopprennen mit englischen und arabischen Vollblütern sowie Pony-, Reitpferde- und Jagdrennen statt. Jährlich wurden zwischen Mai und September zwei bis fünf Renntage organisiert. Aus finanziellen Gründen, insbesondere wegen des Mangels an Sponsoren, fanden 2012 und 2013 keine Rennen statt. Neben den Pferderennen wird das Areal für Festivals wie das Freakstock und andere Veranstaltungen genutzt. Auf der Rennstrecke in Boxberg fand in der ersten Augustwoche 2022 das Pfadfindertreffen Royal Ranger Bundescamp statt, bei der über 16.000 Menschen auf der Rennstrecke Camps errichteten.
