Free entry — no purchase necessary

Every PRIZERUN race can be entered for free by post. Free tickets go into the same draw as paid tickets: a randomly allocated horse from the same allocation sequence, identical 1-in-N odds, and the same fixed prize if it wins.

How to enter free

1. Take an unenclosed postcard.
2. Write your full name, postal address, date of birth, email address or phone number, and the race you'd like to enter — date, time and course (for example "17 July, 3.45 Ripon"). You may also write "next available race".
3. Post it to the address below. One entry per postcard, subject to the site-wide limit of 5 entries per person per race across all routes — paid and postal entries are counted together, and entries beyond the limit are void.

What happens next

Postal entries received by 5pm the day before the race are entered into that race's allocation ahead of the off, receive a randomly allocated horse from the same sequence as paid tickets, and are settled on the official result exactly as paid tickets are. Every postal entry also carries one chance in the nightly £250 draw at 9.30pm, exactly as each paid entry does. Winners are notified by the contact details on the postcard and prizes are paid in full — there is no difference in odds, allocation, prize or treatment between free and paid entries. Identity is verified before any prize is paid, on paid and postal winners alike.

Eligibility

Free entry is open to GB residents aged 18 or over. Illegible, incomplete or enclosed entries cannot be processed. Proof of posting is not proof of receipt. Postal entries are matched by name, address and date of birth to apply the 5-entries-per-person-per-race limit — exactly as accounts are on the paid route.
