Halifax Greyhounds

For decades, the Halifax Greyhounds have been a beloved part of our local sporting heritage, thrilling crowds with their speed, agility, and the unforgettable excitement of the race. From packed stands at historic tracks to the stories of legendary hounds and trainers, this page celebrates the rich history and lasting impact of greyhound racing in Halifax. Join us as we explore the races, the people, and the passion that made the Halifax Greyhounds a cherished tradition.

The Thrum Hall cricket ground had a speedway dirt track constructed around the cricket pitch and hosted the Halifax Speedway team until 1930. A greyhound track replaced the speedway the following year with the greyhound track taking a most unusual shape in the form of a D shape to allow the cricket ground to remain in place inside the circuit.
