70 million in purses to recreational contestants each year. USTRC is the mother organization that created the modern team roping industry.

This is a niche sports event with the strongest appeal for participants, families, and visitors who already follow roping competitions. It is less central to a standard Destin beach trip, but it can still matter for lodging demand when teams and spectators are in town.
Best for competitors, rodeo fans, and families already tied to the event or sport.
Expect a competition-first environment with spectators, participants, and a more specialized sports crowd.
I checked the official schedule site but could not verify a clear public spectator price for this specific event listing. Check the organizerβs page before attending.
If this event is one reason for your trip, it makes sense to stay somewhere comfortable and keep the rest of the weekend easy. Our rentals work well for guests who want beach time, dining, and local events all in the same trip.
