The storied tradition of Eventing at iconic Fair Hill continues with the inaugural Maryland 5 Star to be held in October at the newly constructed Fair Hill Special Event Zone in Elkton, Maryland (Cecil County). One of only two 5 Star events in the United States, and seventh worldwide, the prestigious 5 Star (CCI5*) designation is the pinnacle of the sport of Eventing, best described as an equestrian triathlon. The Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill marks a new chapter for the State of Maryland’s rich horse and equestrian tradition. The event will showcase four days of competition in Dressage, Cross-Country and Show Jumping.
