In a brief, three-sentence press release, Red Bull announced that they will be adding a women’s category to the 2024 Red Bull Rampage freeride competition.
“For the first time in the event’s history, Red Bull Rampage will see the world’s top men’s and women’s freeride athletes descend upon the rugged terrain of Virgin in Southwest Utah, as part of an expanded two-day event this October,” according to the release.
Where will the event be held? Who will be invited? Unfortunately, no further details are provided; Red Bull says they’ll share more information via their social media channels later this summer.
Red Bull held its first women’s-only freeride event, dubbed Formation, in 2019. The event returned in 2021 and 2022 but was “postponed” and eventually canceled in 2023. Many had hoped Red Bull would include its first female competitors in last year’s Rampage event and were disappointed with the all-male start list.
Proving Grounds, another freeride event, has allowed women to compete since 2019, when Casey Brown became the first woman to compete in a major men’s freeride competition.
