We have been in contact with the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) about the status of the 2026 Maryland 5* at Fair Hill as well as the CCI3*-L that runs the same weekend.
We received this statement from them today:
US Equestrian has been in regular communication with the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) to support their ongoing discussions surrounding the future viability of the Maryland 5 Star. The current licensee, the Sport & Entertainment Corporation of Maryland, due to apparent financial concerns, will not host the CCI3*-L or CCI5*-L in 2026. US Equestrian is working with a new potential licensee for the CCI3*-L for 2026 and will share updates about the future possibilities for the CCI5*-L as soon as possible. The timeline and FEI requirements to host an event of this stature are published to support any efforts to pursue an application in the future.
We will update this story with new information as it becomes available.
