The biggest event in the history of reining.
THE RUN FOR A MILLION - AUGUST 18 - 21, 2021
The goal of THE LAST COWBOY and RUN FOR A MILLION is to celebrate and grow the sport of reining. The inaugural RUN FOR A MILLION generated an excitement that spread beyond the world of reining to all western performance horse disciplines — it could be felt at cutting events, cow horse events, and even in the world of rodeo. Due to the COVID pandemic, it is was not possible to produce and film THE LAST COWBOY or THE RUN FOR A MILLION in 2020. We had to make the difficult decision to postpone the event.
All competitors who qualified for TRFAM Rookie, and/or Non Pro regional qualifiers in 2020 are still qualified for the event in 2021. A list of 2021 Rookie and Non Pro Host Event Qualifiers will be available on this website as they come in.
