05 Jan 26. Chepstow Military Raceday Ends After Twelve Years and £440,000 Raised. It is with great regret that we have to announce the end of the Chepstow Military Raceday. Julian Nettlefold acting as chief fundraiser and organiser was unable to come to an agreement with the management of Chepstow Racecourse and Arena Leisure to run the 2026 event.
Julian Nettlefold said, “It has been a pleasure working with the charities since 2013 to raise vital funds to support vulnerable veterans and their families in Wales and elsewhere. I’d like to thank all the individuals and companies who have supported the day since 2013 to make the day the success it has grown to from one race and 15 guests in a box in 2013 to the record year in 2023 where we hosted over 180 people.”
However, expect good news in the near future for a new venue for our Raceday!
