What is Barrel Racing Events & Connections?
Barrel Racing Events & Connections is a two-sided platform for the barrel racing community. Riders use it to find events near them, enter competitions online, track entries and results, and buy or sell gear. Promoters use it to list events publicly and — with the Promoter Event Management Dashboard — run every aspect of their shows: online entries, automated draws, live results, payouts, and facility management.
How do I find barrel racing events near me?
Use Schedule, Map, Browse, or Calendar from the main navigation. On this About page, the Find events your way section explains what each view does: Schedule for multi-state and event-type filters plus optional distance and city; Browse for text search (venues, organizers, state codes like OH, or City, ST), upcoming vs past dates, and liked or followed events; Map for geographic discovery; Calendar for date-first browsing. The map helps you plan by location and distance.
How do I enter an event online?
Find an event listing and click Enter. You'll complete a liability waiver, select your class, and pay online via PayPal or Venmo. Your entry status and payment are tracked in My Entries. Promoters using the dashboard see your entry instantly.
What is the Promoter Event Management Dashboard?
The Promoter Event Management Dashboard is for producers who want to streamline running barrel races: online entries with payment tracking, automated draws, live results, payouts, and tools for stalls, RV spots, exhibitions, and team collaboration. Early adopter options may be available. Learn more at https://www.barrel-racing.app/promoter-dashboard.
What is the Marketplace?
The Marketplace lets barrel racing enthusiasts buy and sell equipment, tack, and gear within the community. Browse listings by category, list items for sale, and message sellers directly.
