The 2024 Grand National (officially known as the Randox 2024 Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 176th annual running of the Grand National horse race. It took place on Saturday 13 April 2024, at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England.[1] The event was sponsored by Randox Health. Changes from previous races were the reduction of horses from 40 to 34[2][3] and an earlier start time of 4pm, compared to 5.15pm in 2023.[4] It was won by bookies' favourite I Am Maximus, who was trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend.[5][6]
