Waregemse Koerse is a major annual horse racing event held in Waregem, Belgium. It takes place each year on the Tuesday after the last Sunday of August at the Gaverbeek Hippodrome and draws around 30,000–40,000 spectators.
Key Features
It is best known for the Grote Steeple-Chase van Vlaanderen (Grand Steeplechase of Flanders), a prestigious and challenging race featuring obstacles such as the Gaverbeek brook, the Breton Wall, and the Irish hedge. The total prize pool exceeds €350,000, making it one of the richest events in Flemish equestrian sport.
Atmosphere and Tradition
The event blends elite horse racing with social spectacle, much like Ascot in the UK. Fashion, networking, and local celebration play a big part, with Waregem Koerse standing as the highlight of the Waregem Koerse Feesten — a week of music, fairs, and festivities throughout the city.
In short, Waregemse Koerse is Belgium’s most glamorous and historic horse racing day, combining tradition, sport, and social flair since 1847.
