Ippodromo Arcoveggio, Horse racing venue in Bologna, Italy.

The Ippodromo Arcoveggio is a racing facility in Bologna with a professional track designed for harness racing according to international standards. The venue includes stables, betting areas, dining options, and information displays for visitors.

Inaugurated on 5 June 1932, the Arcoveggio track is owned by the municipality of Bologna and has been managed since 1958 by the Società Cesenate Corse al Trotto, now HippoGroup Cesenate S.p.A., which also runs the Savio racecourse in Cesena. The Gran Premio Continentale was first held in 1949. Racing was suspended on 31 December 2011 during the national horseracing strike and resumed about a month later; the track was rebuilt in summer 2015 and the grandstand and parterre restyled in 2004.

The name Arcoveggio comes from the surrounding Bologna district. Races run under the Gran Premio della Vittoria on 6 January and the Gran Premio della Repubblica on 2 June, tying the calendar to national dates. The Gran Premio Continentale, first held in 1949, is among Italy's biggest races and one of the world's major four-year-old events; Varenne, Daguet Rapide, Noras Bean and Urlo dei Venti have won it.

The track lies near Bologna's city centre and railway station, reachable by bus 27 or 11 or by car from the tangenziale, exit 6. Racing runs two or three meetings a week, usually Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, with seven races per meeting and nine on Gran Premio days. The venue closes for about three weeks in January and from late June to the first Saturday of September, when racing moves to Cesena.

The track surface mixes layers of sand, including pozzolana and lapillus, the latter draining water well. The course is 800 metres round, 25.23 m wide on the home straight and 22.08 m on the far side, and most races run over 1,600 or 2,000 m. Four world records were set here between 2014 and 2018.
