steeplechase definition and meaning

What is the "steeplechase"?

A steeplechase is a race in which participants, either people or animals, compete over a course that includes various obstacles. These obstacles can involve jumping over barriers or crossing water pits. The goal is to complete the race in the shortest time possible, with participants needing both speed and the ability to clear the challenges along the way. Steeplechases are typically longer than sprints, often testing the endurance and agility of those taking part. The event originated with horse races across country paths, but it has evolved into both human and animal competitions today.
