The Million Dollar Breakaway has revolutionized the rodeo world, setting an exciting new standard for the sport. This isn't just a rodeo event; it’s about empowering women, inspiring generations, and showcasing elite female athletes on a national stage. Hosted at the premier WestWorld venue in Scottsdale, Arizona, this groundbreaking event features the best in breakaway roping, a $1 million payout, and a vibrant celebration of Western culture through high-stakes competition, curated shopping, and top-tier music entertainment. Last year, the event drew over 4,500 attendees from more than 22 states and featured over 250 roping entries—a number expected to grow exponentially this year.

Breakaway roping is a fast-paced rodeo event where a calf is released from a chute while the roper waits in position. As the calf exits, the roper must quickly maneuver their horse to loop a rope around the calf’s neck. The run stops when a small rope tied to the saddle horn breaks. Precision, speed, and adrenaline define the event and with 10 intense go-rounds and life-changing payouts, the Million Dollar Breakaway isn't just making history—it's capturing mainstream attention and elevating women’s rodeo into the national spotlight.

To top it off, the event features high-energy live performances from top country artists and rising talent, turning the venue into a celebration of sound and sport.
