The Iroquois Steeplechase is part of the National Steeplechase Association, the official sanctioning body of U.S. steeplechase racing. It is the guiding hand of this proud sport’s legacy and is dedicated to preserving its tradition and history in the 21st century.
Based in Fair Hill, Maryland, the National Steeplechase Association licenses participants, approves race courses, trains officials, coordinates race entries, enforces rules, compiles an official database, and oversees the national marketing of the sport.
The Iroquois Steeplechase staff works closely with The Volunteer State Horsemen's Foundation Trustees, as well as the Race Committee, to manage and produce an annual world-class event that supports Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and other non profits, as well as promotes the sport of steeplechasing, and the spirit of amateurism throughout the community.
