Highlights & Results

This isn’t just about the showpiece race. It’s more than just the greatest steeplechase. Because beyond three days of world class racing, it’s three days where people from every corner come together to write history.

Grand National Fences

The Grand National fences are arguably the most famous horse racing steeplechases in the world. Dating back to 1829, racing over fences at Aintree Racecourse has evolved over the years, proving to be one of the most challenging tests, over distance, for runners and riders.

Red Rum 50

In year two of the five-year Red Rum 50 campaign the focus has been on continuing to create long-lasting landmarks across the site, most notably this year with the addition of a mural located above the newly-renovated Red Rum Bar – be sure to head to that bar within the Festival Zone enclosure!
