Albemarle County’s premier steeplechase event, the Foxfield Races, is back for its second race in the National Steeplechase Association's 2024 series. This cherished fall tradition invites friends and families to enjoy a day of excitement and community spirit. Foxfield is proud to partner once again with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville, with a portion of ticket sales and additional support from corporate sponsors benefiting the organization. Habitat for Humanity received $155,194 from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 races combined.
Explore the vibrant Vendor Village with food trucks like Arepras on Wheels and jiji Custard, and shop from Spark Studio’s permanent jewelry, Foxfield merchandise, and Bellavance Ink’s local and whimsical art for the Charlottesville/Richmond Virginia area. Kids will love the Children’s Tent and the Truck Touch, featuring an antique fire truck and garbage truck. Don’t miss Two Labs Coffee (bagged ground and whole bean coffee, coffee-infused chocolate bars, stoneware mugs, tote bags, and more) or the free face painting from Transformations!
Kelsey Cox, Executive Director of Foxfield Races, emphasizes the event’s importance: “Community, conservation, and steeplechase are vital to Foxfield. The Fall Races are a fantastic opportunity to bring our growing community together for a unique and spectacular steeplechase experience. We look forward to welcoming your friends, family, and colleagues on October 6.”
