2026 GRAND NATIONAL RETURN
2026 • FULL CIRCLE
In 2026, the Show Me Showdown returned to the NTPA Grand National circuit, reconnecting the event with its roots in Macon, Missouri. What began decades ago came full circle with three nights of championship pulling, packed grandstands, and some of the best competitors in the sport back at the Macon County Fairgrounds.
2025 PRO PULLING LEAGUE • PULL OF THE YEAR
Before the Show Me Showdown returned to the NTPA Grand National circuit, the event closed out an incredible chapter by earning the 2025 Pro Pulling League Pull of the Year honor. It was recognition of the competition, the atmosphere, the crews, the fans, and the community that helped build the Showdown into what it is today.
