78th Running of the Cheshire Races2025 Cheshire Races
Join us for the 78th Running of the Cheshire Races ! This annual community tradition will be held at Plantation Field in the rolling hills of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Join us to celebrate Open Space and experience the adrenaline rush of timber racing. Whether you're a horse enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out, this event is perfect for everyone. The event runs rain or shine, so dress appropriately!
This year's Person of Honor is the iconic horsewoman Mrs. Averell Penn Smith Walker. We will be commemorating her life and legacy throughout our Cheshire Weekend. Saturday evening kicks off the festivities with the Cheshire Races Cocktail Party & Live Auction, held at Ben Barnett and Missy Shaffer's stunning Laurel Hill Farm. Sunday will be an action-packed Race Day, with a full card of Pony Races, including the crowd-favorite Leadline Race, a parade of Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Foxhounds, 3 NSA Sanctioned Timber Races, a Side-Saddle Race, and more! All attendees have access to the Partners in Preservation hospitality tent, generously hosted by the Brandywine Conservancy.
We have a variety of Sponsorship and Entry options, from General Admission up to Title Sponsorships, so contact us to get involved! For our popular tailgating packages, we are again offering Finish Line and Cheshire Crest along the west end of the hillside with great views of the course. Don't delay in reserving your spot today!
Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable day at the 2025 Cheshire Races !
