Race Day FAQs & Updates

  • Paddock Entry: Paddock entry is limited to horsemen (owners, trainers, and jockeys), race officials, and landowners and their guests in 2023 given crowd constraints and recommendations from horsemen and attending medical personnel concerning the safety of race participants and patrons. We thank you for your understanding.
  • Uber / Lyft / Taxi Policy: Entry to the event via Uber, Lyft, taxi, or any other commercial vehicle is prohibited. The racecourse entrance at 2838 Butler Road is the only place of ingress / egress available; as such, ride sharing services cause traffic issues for those patrons who have purchased parking passes. Those persons attempting to access the event using a ride sharing service will be turned away by security.
  • Tickets vs. Parking Passes: Purchase of a Grand National parking pass allows entrance to the racecourse for all persons in the vehicle. There are no individual tickets. Please note that no box / panel trucks, buses, campers, commercial vehicles (including ride sharing services) or farm vehicles will be permitted entry into the racecourse.
  • Pets: Pets are strictly prohibited. Those vehicles with pets inside will not be permitted entry. Any person caught with a pet on the racecourse premises will be asked to leave immediately.

The Grand National Steeplechase is run in partnership with the Valleys Planning Council, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to land use planning, agricultural and historic preservation, and environmental advocacy. Visit the Valleys Planning Council to learn more.
