Tailgating & Activities

Tailgating at the Virginia Gold Cup races is a tradition so make the most of the day and participate in the Tailgate Contest! The best tailgates have a theme, decorations and special food and drink recipes. Reserved tailgating spots are available on the Member’s Hill, North Rail and South Rail. When you reserve a tailgate spot you are eligible to enter the tailgate competition – and it’s free! Tailgates will be judged by a panel of local food and TV personalities.

If you have reserved a tailgate spot and would like to enter the competition, send your name, contact information, and tailgate spot number to info@bendurepr.com by 5pm on Thursday, May 4, 2017. (Past prizes have included dinners and hotel stays, airline tickets and gift baskets.)
