There’s less than two months left to nominate to the WCRA’s Rodeo Corpus Christi, where a top prize of $15,000 awaits—and even better, a spot on the WCRA’s Free Riders team for Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo.

What’s Corpus Christi have to do with Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo?

The first of it’s kind, Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo (KRRR) combines a team format with all eight rodeo events.

Five of the six teams are made up of hand-picked athletes; two in each event (four in team roping). The final team to compete is the WCRA’s Free Riders. Unlike the other teams, members of the Free Riders must win their way on to the team during Rodeo Corpus Christi.

So, how does one get in on this opportunity? The first step is competing in WCRA Rodeo Corpus Christi. The top 16 athletes on the leaderboard will travel down to South Texas in May. From there, the field is whittled to the top two, who will join the (reigning champions) Free Riders team.

Rodeo Corpus Christi will use the drag racing-style light, going from a blue light to a single red light, double red lights, yellow lights, and a final green light. Once the light turns green, the athlete’s time will begin. This is the same system that will be used at KRRR, giving the Free Riders team members experience just a week before the event.

Important dates:
— Nominations for Rodeo Corpus Christi close April 6, 2025
— Rodeo Corpus Christi is May 7–11
— Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo is May 16
