UTAH GAY RODEO ASSOCIATION

UGRA is a nonprofit organization that supports rodeo and country lifestyle while raising money for the community and various causes.

About Us

Golden Spike Gay Rodeo Association (GSGRA) was founded in 1979 and operated as a group of local country western gays helping out the community. They were admitted to IGRA 10 years later in 1989 as the Utah Gay Rodeo Association (UGRA). By this time the Golden State Gay Rodeo Association in California owned the acronym GSGRA. Due to various reasons, Utah's gay rodeo association unfortunately dissolved in 2006.


On January 4, 2016 the Utah Gay Rodeo Association (UGRA) was brought back to life! UGRA was admitted to the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) by the Summer of 2016.
