Located outside Charlottesville, Virginia on scenic Garth Road, the Foxfield Race Course runs both spring and fall steeplechase races and hosts several other large-scale outdoor community events.  Raymond Woolfe of Field Sport Concepts was commissioned to design and supervise construction of a first-rate facility like none other in central Virginia.  

Major site elements include an NSA-sanctioned steeplechase race course, turf course, fence lines and all official structures, including stables, saddling paddocks, maintenance buildings and spectator/sponsor areas able to accommodate crowds of over 20,000.

Additionally, Field Sport Concepts partnered with McKee Carson to design parking areas, traffic approaches, entranceways and deceleration lanes capable of handling such crowds. Following completion of the facility, Mr. Woolfe’s role extended to direct management of the facility for 5 years, involving the planning, organization and management of events and day-to-day operations. Later, Field Sport Concepts was retained as a consultant for the grounds and facility.
