THE TRADITION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA HUNT CUP

PENNSYLVANIA HUNT CUP

The Pennsylvania Hunt Cup is a Timber steeplechase race with a distance of four miles and 18 fences, over fair hunting country. From its inception it has been intended as a substantial test of both horse and rider, and is one of just three 4-mile steeplechase races sanctioned by the National Steeplechase Association.

ABOUT THE PA HUNT CUP

Create your own traditions on the first Sunday in November at the historic Pennsylvania Hunt Cup race meet.

2024 Pennsylvania Hunt Cup CALLED OFF

After serious consideration, Michael and Anne Moran and the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup Committee have made the very difficult decision to call off the 90th Running of the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup due to unsafe ground conditions. The lack of rain over the past two months has left the ground overly hard, posing an increased risk of serious injury to both horses and riders. While this was not an easy choice, we believe it is essential to prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

For those who have purchased tickets, we will be contacting you to offer a refund or the option to donate your ticket fee to the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup and our beneficiaries. Our team will be in touch with further details. We thank our supporters, participants, and fans for their understanding and encourage you to stay connected with us for future updates.

WE’RE RACING FOR FOOD!

The Pennsylvania Hunt Cup’s main beneficiary is the CHESTER COUNTY FOOD BANK

Every day, 1 in 8 people in Chester County goes hungry. For children that number is 1 in 5. No one should go hungry!

In 2024 we are Racing for Food.
