More Than a Race—It’s a Tradition
The Aiken Steeplechase Association is a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving one of Aiken’s most cherished traditions—steeplechase racing. Each year, we host two nationally sanctioned races that bring the community together for excitement, celebration, and purpose. Our mission is to honor Aiken’s equestrian legacy, foster community spirit, and give back by supporting local nonprofit organizations.
Guided by a passionate team and a volunteer Board of Directors, we’re building more than just race days—we’re creating a “Field of Dreams” where tradition meets togetherness. Proceeds from our events directly benefit charities throughout the Central Savannah River Area, helping our region thrive while keeping Aiken’s steeplechasing spirit alive and well.
