For 105 years, the Far Hills Race Meeting has drawn fans, families, and first-timers to the rolling hills of Moorland Farm for a tradition unlike any other. It’s the premier steeplechase event in the U.S. (and one of NJ’s most iconic fall gatherings), blending world-class horse racing with food, fashion, shopping and shared moments that turn into lifelong memories.
The event has donated $22 million over the years to local healthcare organizations, including RWJ Barnabas Health, Crossroads 4 Hope: A Network of Cancer Support, Bonnie Brae, CIC for Prevention and Recovery, and LifeCamp.
