The Foxfield Race, also referred to as just “Foxfield” is an annual horse race held in Charlottesville, that attracts people young and old to a long day in the sun in the beautiful outdoors.

The University of Virginia Alumni Association has a strong influence throughout Charlottesville. The presence of University alumni and their contributions to Charlottesville are significant, and UVA has some of the most loyal alumni you’ll see! You won’t be able to miss them on UVA game days.
The University of Virginia is one of the largest employers in Charlottesville and the University faculty, students, and staff are huge contributors to the success of our local economy. City’s that thrive off of college campuses are often much more insulated from market shifts and weak economies.
There are several beautiful golf courses to choose from in Charlottesville; be sure to try out Birdwood, Farmington, Meadowcreek, Glenmore, Keswick, Rivanna Resort, Lake Monticello, McIntire, Old Trail, and Spring Creek.
