This steeplechase event, run in Fauquier County since 1922, is a grand spring tradition and fixture of the Washington social calendar. These world famous races are one of the major marketing events in the Washington metropolitan area, and a great opportunity for business entertaining and promotion. Seven steeplechase races highlight our race day schedule. The Gold Cup has played host to some of the greatest steeplechase and timber horses the world has ever known. Pony races and Jack Russell Terrier races are also slated for your enjoyment.
Races run rain or shine.
