Indian Relay Racing '26 (Aug 15)

Indian Relay Racing is North America's original extreme sport: teams of riders race bareback around the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede track, vaulting from one horse to the next every lap in rapid exchanges that showcase strength, balance, and trust between athlete and animal. The event is organized in collaboration with Travel Alberta and Indigenous leaders and experts to ensure the essence of Indian Relay Racing is respected and preserved. A celebration of North American Indigenous culture, it runs alongside an Indigenous artisan market and is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Saturday's races start at 6 p.m. at the Grandstand.
