15th Annual Xtreme Event Challenge - Sioux Falls

Aug 26, 2023 - Aug 27, 2023

Saddle Up! It’s time again for the McCrossan Boys Ranch Xtreme Event Challenge. Featuring only the most jaw dropping, xtreme, action-packed events of rodeo – Barrel Racing, Mutton Busting and the Northern Bull Riding Tour! Get a chance to see some of the fastest barrel racers and best bull riders in the country butting heads and battling it out for cash prizes and the honor of being crowned the Xtreme Event Challenge Champion.

This will be the 15th Annual Xtreme Event Challenge to be held in our outdoor Leo P. Flynn Memorial Arena at McCrossan Boys Ranch. All proceeds will go to support the quality programs for at-risk youth at McCrossan Boys Ranch.

New this year! Kicking off our event is a local favorite, the Cardboard Saints. They will be bringing a bluesy, country-rock sound, with powerful vocals and tight rhythmic grooves to our rodeo this year. We are also excited to have “Tiny Tim” the rodeo clown joining us to entertain our crowd of all ages with his crazy stunts and jokes.

Lasso up some tickets and check out the Sioux Falls area’s most action-packed outdoor rodeo. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the gate and there are many opportunities for sponsorships and program ads. We also have many fun vendors to shop from. Don’t clown around and miss the fun!

Attention future cowboys and cowgirls, we will again have Mutton Busting! The toughest sport on wool! If your children would like to participate please register in the crow’s nest before the show the evening of the event. We will draw the names of 10 youth to participate this year.
