10 YEARS OF CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY — 2018

In 2018, 18-year-old Mathew Pakootas Jr. rode Northwest Express to the Indian Relay Championship of Champions title in Walla Walla, Washington.

It was his first big Championship win — earned in a finish so close that even the riders weren't sure who had won until the judges made it official.

Eight years later, Mathew is still part of Indian Relay, now racing under Stronghorse Relay.

And today, Stronghorse isn't only fielding a men's team — they have a Junior Relay team, helping bring another generation into the sport.

That's what 10 years of the Championship of Champions is really about.

Champions. Families. Generations. And the future of Indian Relay.

September 25–27, 2026
