Barrel racers are battling it out at the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver, Colorado, for the coveted 2025 barrel racing title—we’ve got results and more all month long here.

How do barrel racers qualify for the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo?

Of the 80 WPRA barrel racers competing at the NWSSR, 40 come from the qualifier held prior to the rodeo. The remaining 40 spots are made up of invitees, to be filled in the following order: 

  • Top 28 contestants from the 2024 Pro Rodeo World standings
  • Top 5 from the 2025 Pro Rodeo World standings based on winnings 7 days prior to the National Western Stock Show entries closing
  • The top 2 from the 2024 WPRA Tour
  • The top 5 from the 2024 Pro Rodeo Mountain States Circuit year-end standings

What is the NWSSR barrel racing format in Denver?

Barrel racing will follow the same format as the six PRCA events in Denver (breakaway roping is not included as an event in the National Western Stock Show Rodeo). Here’s the format outlined in the WPRA ground rules for 2025

FIRST TWO RUNS: THE PERFORMANCES

  • All events will have two full go-rounds. They will be ran in consecutive performances. So the first 16 performances will feature eight brackets of 10 contestants and contestants will run their go-rounds back-to-back (see schedule) 
  • The top three in the aggregate on two runs in each bracket will advance to the semi-finals rounds. 

THIRD RUN: THE SEMI-FINALS

  • The semi-final progressive round will consist of three performances. Each performance will have eight contestants. 
  • The top four contestants of each semi-finals performance advance to the finals.

FOURTH RUN: THE FINALS

  • 12 contestants will compete in the finals.
  • The fastest time of the finals will earn the title of National Western Stock Show Rodeo champion.
