This October 25th, 2025, amateur riders from across the Southeast will travel to Cartersville, Georgia, to enter into something they’ve always dreamed of doing on a horse: the Quarter Mile Sprint race.
2 furlongs. A quarter of a mile. There is no starting gate, horses wait for the starter’s orders. Runner’s run in sets of two for fastest times. Match races.
No whips. No spurs. No hitting of the horse. No drugs. Western or English. Just riders and horses running for fastest time.
For Fall 2025, there are a new set of divisions based on time. This allows for more payouts based on the amount of entries.
This past June 29th, they had qualifier races to help establish the divisions. Please see the video below for an example:
