St. Paul Rodeo Trail Ride
Sunday, June 7th, 2026 — Rain or Shine!
The St. Paul Rodeo Trail Ride began in the early days of the rodeo, when livestock was herded into town for the big event. Today, that tradition continues with a fun and scenic 10-mile ride through the rolling St. Paul countryside and along the Willamette River, led by the St. Paul Rodeo Royal Court. The day kicks off with a hearty pancake breakfast open to everyone. After breakfast, riders saddle up for a festive parade through town before hitting the trail that winds through farmland and fields. The ride wraps up 2–3 hours later at the rodeo grounds, where a BBQ lunch—hosted by the St. Paul Jaycees—welcomes riders back.
