Run2Win 2011 Finals Pays Out
$52,500 In Cash

     Sharra Deniz’s dream came to fruition after hard work and determination. The creator of the first ever Run2Win Barrel Racing Finals held October 8-9 in Red Bluff, Calif. saw 1,010 total entries vying for $52,500 in cash plus a multitude of wonderful prizes. This was done without charging any finals, carryover, sanction or donation fees. That is a feat in itself.
     The ground crew of Jack Deniz, David Irle and Eryn Greenfield had the ground in tip-top shape and it was not only fast, but even from beginning to end.
Saturday night there was a free pizza and salad party with karaoke so everyone could relax and tell stories. Sunday prizes were awarded through 11th place in the Open. Buckle sponsors were Total Performance Diesel, Auburn Eyecare Associates, Olive Grove Mini Storage, Team Scott Barrel Horses and Cowgirl Chic. A big thank you also to Adeptus Products and Veterycin, who also donated products to place winners in each division of the Open.
     Youth class received buckles to the champions and halters to the reserve champions in each division. Sponsors were Sebastopol Wranglers, Cartwright Mechanic Services, One Stop Tack Shop, Ginocchio Cattle Company and Little Bits and Barrels Ranch.
Senior class division champions also received buckles and reserve champions were awarded halters. The Senior sponsors were Rockin 3V Ranch (in memory of Bob Morgan), Old School Horse Rub, Rhiannon Carlson Arbonne and Randy Whitlow Trucking.
     This first year of Run2Win has been hugely successful and Sharra would like to thank all the members and contestants who chose Run2Win. Your business is appreciated and look for an even better season next year! Thanks also go to the many wonderful sponsors who came on board.
