A World Class Sporting
Event
Experience an annual fall tradition in the lovely Middleburg hunt country at The Virginia Fall Races, where your only interruption to a relaxing day will be the cheer of 7,000 excited fans and the storming of thundering hooves! Take part in The National Steeplechase Association's (NSA) 111th year, as well as the 52d running of the the Virginia Fall Race Meeting.
Come sense the history while watching steeplechase action at the oldest continuous race course in the state of Virginia. Glenwood Park and the rolling race course on its grounds, sit amongst the lush hunt country one mile off of Route 50 in Middleburg. The 112 acre park was established in 1911 and is maintained today by a private trust left to the people of Virginia by the late Mr. Daniel C. Sands, a local fox hunter and avid sportsman.
Every autumn as leaves begin to color, the Virginia Fall Race meeting holds it annual two day race meet on the first weekend in October. This year's running promises to be one of the leading meets on the 2005 Fall Steeplechase Circuit. It will be our 51st running of this hunt country tradition and is the only two day steeplechase meet - hosting over 10 action packed races. The Virginia Fall Races have historically had more entries than any other race meet of the season.
The Virginia Fall Races benefit Loudoun Hospital and Loudoun Healthcare Inc. in nearby Leesburg and is a highly regarded community event. Since its inception in 1955, this race meeting has consistently contributed more money to the Loudoun Healthcare Inc. than any other sporting event.
