Run for a Cause – Supporting Two Meaningful Organizations When you participate in the Rodeo Run, you’re also helping support two incredible causes that are changing lives.

We are proud to support VetsStrong USA, an organization dedicated to using equine experiences to challenge, change, and enhance the lives of military veterans. Through powerful interactions with horses, veterans gain confidence, connection, and healing.

We are also raising funds for Miss Pam’s Ranch, a special ranch that has impacted countless lives by bringing together kids, animals, and the healing power of outdoor experiences. The ranch is led by Miss Pam, an inspiring woman in a wheelchair whose mission continues to transform the lives of those who visit.

At Caren Ware Events, our races are designed to be “something for EVERYBODY and EVERY BODY.” Our mission is to create fun, enriching, healthy outdoor experiences while also giving back to organizations making a real difference.

Through events like the Rodeo Run, we are also building the Ware in the World Foundation, an initiative focused on connecting cultures through outdoor activities while providing hope, happiness, and life-enhancing opportunities.

Every mile you run helps support something bigger.

BE Active. BE healthy. Saddle up and enjoy!
