Foxfield Races

Foxfield has been hosting nationally recognized steeplechase races in the heart of Virginia for over forty years, giving residents and visitors alike the opportunity to witness spectacular horse racing and enjoy the beauty of the countryside. In 1977, Mariann de Tejeda generously purchased the property for the Foxfield Racing Association and designed and built the race course.

The races officially began in 1978 and has remained a legacy for the Charlottesville community. With two races a year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall, Foxfield Races draws a crowd of over 18,000 attendees for the combined races. The races draw corporate and business clientele, tourists, local and regional spectators, college students and of course, steeplechase enthusiasts, up and down the east coast. If you haven't experienced the tradition and historic sport of steeplechase racing, you must add Foxfield Races to your bucket list.

Races are normally held the last Saturday in April and the first Sunday in October.
