The Wild Cowgirls Race will once again be a part of the Williams Lake Stampede.

Entries will open online May 5 at 10 a.m. for those wishing to race.

How to enter:

On May 5 at 10 a.m. send a direct message to The Wild Cowgirls Race at the Williams Lake Stampede’s Facebook page. Put who the entry is for in the message.

If the person wanting to enter the race does not have Facebook you can get another person to send the message for you. Please put the name in entry message.

After organizers have received the message they will send an email to Etransfer your entry to.

You will have 30 minutes after to send proof of etransfer sent if not accepted already. After that the entry will go to the next on the list.

“We will accept a waitlist of up to five committed racers. Please do not put your name on the wait list if you are not prepared to race,” said Monica Byrd, Wild Cowgirl Race organizer. “We take up to four horses off the wait list each year. So if you are on the wait list, keep riding your horse like you are entered.”

The race is so popular, it fills up the day entries open, she said.

The Wild Cowgirls Race is a 3/8 mile flat race open to women only, during the Williams Lake Stampede.
