World Series of Team Roping (WSTR)
Linden Valley Arena (formally "Rock-N-Roll LLC, DBA Linden Valley Arena") is an official WSTR qualifier venue. The WSTR is the national amateur handicapped team roping series, and Linden qualifiers draw competitors from across Arizona and neighboring states. The arena hosts multiple WSTR events throughout the season — confirmed in the WSTR national calendar for 2026. Participants can register through GlobalHandicaps.com.
Beast Truck Team Roping
The Beast Truck Team Roping is a major sponsored roping event held twice at Linden Valley Arena in 2026 (June and August). These two-day events draw significant participation and are among the higher-profile events on the annual calendar beyond the WSTR qualifiers.
Show Low Rodeo
The annual Show Low Rodeo is held at Linden Valley Arena — hosted by the City of Show Low. The 2026 rodeo runs June 5–6, with Friday as a youth rodeo (ages 18 and under) and Saturday as an open rodeo at 6 p.m. Events include breakaway roping, parent/offspring roping, barrel racing, ribbon roping, hangman's race, mutton busting, calf riding, steer riding, junior bull riding, ranch bronc, saddle bronc, and bareback. This is the signature western community event of the White Mountains summer season.
