The GRCA National Specialty traverses the country, cycling through the Eastern, Central, and Western regions in each successive year. For each of 82 years, The GRCA National has been hosted by one of our many local clubs. In 2021, GRCA assumed the National Specialty leadership role to begin in planning the 2023 GRCA National Specialty. Onto GRCA’s 4th year having a centralized organizational leadership, we are excited in 2026 to return the GRCA National Specialty to Greeley, CO.
