Minnesota Lineworkers Rodeo

The Minnesota Lineworkers Rodeo offers apprentice and journeyman lineworkers the opportunity to step out of your comfort zone as they compete individually in three timed events, while striving for 100% safety and proficiency.

Held annually at the MMUA Training Center in Marshall, MN, the Rodeo is a chance for lineworkers to demonstrate their incredible technical abilities while preserving the craft. Each year, dozens of participants test their mettle through three timed individual events. The judges are comprised of veteran municipal lineworkers, managers, superintendents, and MMUA staff. 

This year's rodeo events included Hurtman Rescue, Obstacle Course, and 5kV Insulator Change Out. Listed below are the 2022 MN Lineworkers Rodeo winners. Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to all those who participated!
