Fresh off the heels of a history-making event that showcased the sport of reining to millions of viewers through social media, live webcasts and a prime-time CBS and Paramount+ broadcast, the road to The Run For A Million is getting bigger and tougher.

The Qualifier will return to Bosque Ranch in Weatherford, Texas, on May 22, 2027, with $𝟮𝟬𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 in added money, double the amount offered in 2026. The top ten riders will earn spots in the 2027 Million Dollar Competition.

New for 2027, an exhibitor must earn a Top 30 (plus ties) placing, at The Qualifier to be eligible for The Shootout. 𝙀𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙏𝙤𝙥 30 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩, 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙤𝙥 30 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙪𝙥 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙨. Qualification belongs to the rider rather than the horse, so qualified riders may compete on a different horse at The Shootout.

That makes a strong finish at The Qualifier important well beyond the 10 riders who punch their tickets directly to the Million Dollar Competition in Las Vegas.

The Run For A Million, created by Taylor Sheridan, returns to the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center in Las Vegas August 17-21, 2027. The premier Western performance horse event brings together elite competitors in reining, cutting and reined cow horse, along with additional showcase events, for one of the richest and most anticipated weeks in the industry.

The event is closely connected to Sheridan’s hit series The Last Cowboy, which has helped introduce Western performance horse sports to a broader audience.

In 2026, The Run For A Million reached an even larger national audience when the Million Dollar Competition aired on CBS and Paramount+.
