The Gorge Waterfalls Prize Purse

20 February 2026

Announced today and posted on the Daybreak Racing website:

  • 100K: $15,000 for 1st Place; $7,000 for 2nd Place; $4,000 for 3rd Place
  • 50K: $5,000 for 1st Place; $2,000 for 2nd Place; $1,000 for 3rd Place
  • 30K: $2,000 for 1st Place; $1,000 for 2nd Place; $500 for 3rd Place

ACG is doling out $75,000 in total. This is starting to feel like real number and is a good yardstick to measure that crowdfunded prize purse at Black Canyon against. While a novel idea to ask live viewers to “tip their server runner” it just can’t be a replacement for real prize money from real sponsors with – let’s face it “unlimited” marketing budgets.
