Okay, so I had this question pop into my head the other day: “How long is Saratoga Springs head to Belmont race?” I figured, I’m probably not the only one wondering, so why not track my little investigation and share it?

My Little Journey to Find the Distance
First things first, I needed to know exactly what I was dealing with. I’m talking about Saratoga Springs and Belmont, right? But Belmont Park is the racetrack. Gotta be specific!
So, I pulled up my trusty search engine and started typing. My first search was pretty simple: “distance between Belmont Park and Saratoga Springs”.
Bingo! The search results gave me a direct answer, clear as day:
- Road distance: About 189.3 miles.
- Straight-line distance:199 miles.
Okay, cool. So, we’re looking at roughly a 190-mile drive. That gives me a general idea, but I was curious about other options. Like, what if I didn’t want to drive?
Exploring the “No Car” Route
I refined my search, this time asking: “how to get from Belmont Park to Saratoga Springs without a car”.

The top suggestion was pretty straightforward: take the train!
The results told me the train ride would take about 6 hours and 23 minutes.
So, there you have it! Whether you’re driving or taking the train, now you’ve got a good sense of the distance and time involved in getting from Belmont Park to Saratoga Springs. I hope this helps anyone else who was curious!
