WILLOWDALE STEEPLECHASE
The excitement continues with the 29th running of the Willowdale Steeplechase
on Saturday, May 14. This much-loved Chester County tradition resumes at full spectator capacity this year with six exciting steeplechase races.
What began as a vision by community leader W.B. Dixon Stroud Jr. is now a premier racing event and a perfect day of fun activities for the entire family. The first Willowdale Steeplechase came about when Dixon—who’d competed
at the highest levels in steeplechase and polo competition—decided it was time to have a top-notch steeplechase event in the heart of Chester County’s Cheshire Hunt Country. Combining his love for the sport and his commitment to the community, Stroud enlisted the help of many others for the inaugural running of the Willowdale Steeplechase in 1993. Since then, the event has raised over
$1 million for local charities. Willowdale features a world-class
steeplechase course in a community known for its top jockeys, trainers and owners.
For the 29th running, Willowdale welcomes back the Pony Races, Jack Russell Terrier Races, boutique shopping, food vendors and the fun and educational Kids’ Alley. Family and friends can pack their picnics, put on their best hats and race outfits and enjoy the fun of the tailgate, hat and best-dressed competitions.
In response to the pandemic, Willowdale will follow all state and local COVID-19 guidelines while returning to its traditional spectator model—with the addition of a limited number of last year’s Private Party Paddocks. Available on a first-come, first-served basis, this exclusive tailgating opportunity includes parking for one car, a 10-by-10-foot tent, a table and admission for up to 10. Each area will be designated at 12 feet from neighboring paddocks. This year, Willowdale is also introducing something new: the elegant Jockey Club at Willowdale, where tables are available for purchase.
From general admission to tailgate parking to Private Party Paddocks, your options are many.
