Drivers, outriders, and the fans are getting ready for the dust to rise on the prairies with the unmistakable rumble of of the horse hooves as the World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) Pro Tour is gearing up for another adrenaline-filled season.
From late May through August, communities across Alberta and BC will once again play host to one of the most iconic and fast-paced traditions in rodeo.
Known for its heart-pounding races and split-second strategy, chuckwagon racing brings together elite drivers, outriders, and teams of horses in a spectacle that’s as much about heritage as it is competition.
With stops including fan-favourite events like the Calgary Stampede Rangeland Derby and Ponoka Stampede, the 2026 WPCA season promises edge-of-your-seat action all summer long.
The World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) is the premier organization for professional chuckwagon racing in North America, representing the highest level of the sport – and athletes in the sport.
