2018 Iroquois Steeplechase

Iroquois Steeplechase – Saturday, May 12 at Percy Warner Park – Nashville, TN 

Wear your spring pastels and top them off with your best hat for the 77th running of the Iroquois Steeplechase on the second Saturday in May at Percy Warner Park. 

The Iroquois Steeplechase has been Nashville’s rite of spring since 1941, attracting more than 25,000 spectators annually to watch the best horses and riders in the world race over hurdles and timber on a manicured turf track. 

Held the second Saturday of each May at Percy Warner Park, this iconic sporting event is Music City’s annual celebration of time‐honored traditions, Tennessee hospitality and Southern fashions. Guests enjoy areas for families, well‐appointed tents and individually organized tailgates where the emphasis is on race day pickings, larger‐than‐life hats, Honey Jack Juleps and crowd‐pleasing recipes.

In addition to offering great entertainment, the Iroquois supports the vital work of Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. The event has raised over $10 million in the last 36 years. Visit iroquoissteeplechase.org for more information.
