Century Mile Racetrack & Casino

Century Mile Racetrack & Casino sits at Edmonton International Airport, in Leduc County. It opened on April 1, 2019. AGLC lists venues like this as racing entertainment centres, where a casino shares the site with live horse racing. The track here is a full mile, described at its 2016 announcement as the only mile-long track in Western Canada.

Its story starts in early 2016, when Edmonton Northlands said it would drop racing at Northlands Park. On September 19, 2016, Horse Racing Alberta chose Century Casinos to build and run the new Edmonton-area A track. VICI Properties bought the real estate on September 6, 2023, and Century Casinos stayed on as operator. On September 28, 2026, Century Casinos agreed to sell Century Mile to Highfield Investment Group. In this guide it sits on the Edmonton area page, one of 30 venues listed across the province.

Gambling in Alberta is for adults 18 and older. Staff must check government-issued photo ID for anyone who looks under 25, so bring it. On race days, admission and parking are free and all ages are welcome at the track. The grandstands are not wheelchair accessible, outside food and drink are not allowed, and dogs stay off the apron.

Without a car, ride the Capital Line LRT to Century Park Station, where Route 747 starts. As of February 1, 2026, that route charges $6 cash each way or a $6 Arc trip, and cards are accepted. From the terminal, the free On-Airport Transit shuttle picks up outside Door 9 on the Arrivals level, by request at 780-890-8983, though its hours are not published. Drivers leave the QEII at the Airport Road exit, then take the first right. Opening hours are in the "Plan your visit" table beside the map, but check with the venue before setting out, because holiday hours can differ.
