MOLINE, ILLINOIS (January 17, 2020) — The Cinch World's Toughest Rodeo returns to Moline's TaxSlayer Center, January 17 and 18, 2020. It's a must-go show and we truly are bigger and better than ever. Fans can expect the absolute best of the best in cowboy and animal athletes competing to be the "TOUGHEST in the WORLD", sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. This action-packed event will qualify winners to ride in the "million dollar" American rodeo in Dallas, as well as the ultimate opportunity to compete at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the world-champion title. There's a lot at stake for the cowboys and they are "in it to win it". We are proud to be PRO-RODEO!

The sidewalk ends and the wild west begins at the Cinch World's Toughest Rodeo featuring the three fan-favorite events, Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, and the most extreme sport, Bull-Riding. 12 contestants compete for the ultimate chance to come back for the winner-takes-all Showdown Round. Some of the nation's fastest cowgirls on their very own animal athletes will compete against the clock in the Women's Barrel Racing.

Cinch World's Toughest Rodeo is more than an 8-second ride in 2020 featuring some of the nation's most talented specialty entertainers! Professional Bull Jumper Manu Lataste returns to Des Moines as he performs death-defying gymnastics over a charging Mexican Bull. John Harrison, Professional Rodeo's Comedy Act of the Year, will keep fans on the edge of their seats. Rounding out our lineup of entertainers, NFR Announcer Roger Mooney will return to call the action.

The doors open early each night for a unique experience for fans as they get their rodeo on in the Cowboy FunZone, preshow from 6-7PM each night. Fans will have the opportunity to meet and greet the cowboys, cowgirls, and specialty entertainers, get autographs, and have special photo ops! Sonny, the CWTR picture bull, will be joined by his pard, Silver Dollar, giving fans the chance to sit on a live bull in the chutes and get actual proof with a picture! Pony rides, behind-the-scene looks, giveaways, and much, much more attract fans to the PreShow, so come early: There is lots to do before the Cinch World's Toughest Rodeo even begins. It's an event you will never forget.
