The 101st Grand Prix of the State Capital is a special highlight in the history of equestrian sports in Düsseldorf. The racecourse allows a maximum of 50% of its maximum capacity, which is up to 10,000 visitors, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
A notable addition to the event is the reception for guests, which will take place in the Teehaus on the racecourse. The reception will be attended by Peter M. Endres, President of the Düsseldorf Riding and Racing Club, and Mayor Dr. Stephan Keller, who will present the winner with a replica of the Düsseldorf Rheinturm during the awards ceremony.
