Mohawk Raceway is a harness racing track in Campbellville, Ontario . It is owned by the Woodbine Entertainment Group , formerly the Ontario Jockey Club , and is about 30 km west of the company's other racetrack, Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto.

Mohawk conducts the Woodbine Entertainment Group's spring and fall standardbred meets; the winter and summer meets are conducted at Woodbine.

The track itself is seven-eighths of a mile in circumference, and is made of crushed limestone. It can accommodate ten starters behind the gate. The homestretch is 1,095 feet long, and the clubhouse turn has a larger radius than the far turn to encourage acceleraion into the homestretch. There is no hubrail.

The chief racng events at Mohawk are a week of Grand Circuit stakes in the fall. Mohawk also has a large slot machine parlour; some of the revenue from this operation is used to increase the horseracing purses.
