The 30th Annual Winter Classic 4D Barrel Race gallops into action on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in Swainsboro, Georgia, and it’s shaping up to be a landmark celebration of speed, skill, and tradition. Held over Thanksgiving weekend, this event has become a cherished fixture in the Southeastern barrel racing circuit—drawing riders, families, and fans from across the country to honor three decades of heart-pounding competition and community spirit.
📍 The race takes place at 1093 GA Highway 56 South, home to the Georgia Sports Arena, a venue known for its spacious layout and rider-friendly atmosphere. With its well-maintained grounds and welcoming vibe, it’s the perfect stage for seasoned pros and rising stars to showcase their horsepower.
🎯 The “4D” format means there’s something for everyone—from lightning-fast veterans to newcomers finding their stride. Divisions are based on time brackets, so riders of varying experience levels can compete for prizes and recognition.
📞 For those looking to register, sponsor, or simply learn more, Eddie Phelps and his daughter, Brittini Phelps Coward are the points of contact. They have been instrumental in organizing this event year after year, and their dedication helps keep the Winter Classic running like clockwork.
🎉 Beyond the barrels, the event is a celebration of Southern hospitality. Think local vendors, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow horse lovers. Whether you're competing, cheering from the stands, or just soaking in the festive atmosphere, it’s a weekend that blends adrenaline with tradition.
So saddle up—Swainsboro’s calling!!
