Event Canceled After Helene
WCRA Rodeo Carolina 2024 Canceled Due to Hurricane Helene Impacts

Due to the unprecedented impacts of Hurricane Helene across Western North Carolina and the greater Atlantic region, WCRA (World Champions Rodeo Alliance), PBR (Professional Bull Riders), and Tryon International have canceled the 2024 Rodeo Carolina. Following the storm, the event had been rescheduled for Oct. 30 – Nov. 2 in Mill Springs, North Carolina, at the Tryon International Equestrian Center and Resort. 

WCRA and its partners look forward to bringing Rodeo Carolina back to the region in Fall 2025. 

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Tryon International has been instrumental in the region’s recovery, currently serving as a staging area for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), a community food distribution basecamp, and a 10-acre North Carolina Emergency Management Field Hospital. First responders also occupy Tryon International’s lodging and facilities with an indefinite departure date. 

All ticket purchasers will receive a refund from ETIX.com, Tryon International’s ticketing partner. All refunds will be processed automatically and appear on your bank statement within 20 business days. 

All Rodeo Carolina entry fees will be refunded to athletes through NextGen Rodeo (transaction fees do not apply). No further action will be needed. Refunds should be applied in the next 7-10 business days. 

Rodeo Carolina Leaderboard points will be applied to the 2025 Rodeo Corpus Christi Leaderboard; athletes who do not want their points applied to Rodeo Corpus Christi can email [email protected] and receive a refund on their nominations (transaction fees do not apply) or apply them to a VRQ Bucks gift card for the full value. The deadline for refunds or VRQ Bucks is Oct. 15 at 5 p.m. CT. Rodeo Corpus Christi is scheduled for May 7-10.

The 2024 VRQ Points Champion Bonus will now conclude on May 10 at 2025 Rodeo Corpus Christi. For more information, email [email protected].

We appreciate the understanding of our competitors, partners, and staff, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the region affected by the storm.

Athletes who have questions can contact WCRA at [email protected].
