🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

The Davis Stampede takes place each year in February, and includes 5K, 10K and Half Marathon routes. We also offer a family friendly 2K (1.24 mile) fun run/walk division that is perfect for younger athletes, families, and pups. Starting and finishing at Davis’ Playfields Park, the Davis Stampede is a great way to kick off 2025 with a commitment to fitness. Courses are mostly flat and take runners and walkers through east and south Davis’s greenbelts and neighborhood streets. Race amenities include finisher’s medals, half marathon pace groups, t-shirts, a post-race expo, and course water stations stocked with water and electrolyte replacement along the course.

🏆 Overall and Age Group Awards

Overall awards will be presented to the top male, female and nonbinary finishers based on gun time. Age group awards will be determined by net time and will be awarded to the top three male, female, and nonbinary registrants per age group. Registrants may decline to state their gender and/or age: however, those entrants will not be eligible for age group or overall awards or results ranking in those categories. Award pick up is available on race day: unclaimed awards are not mailed.

🌐 Participate Virtually

Those who are unable to attend on event day or who would prefer to participate on their own schedule may register as a virtual participant. Virtual packets will be mailed on or about 2/28/25 and will include a bib, finisher medal for the division you designate upon entry, and t-shirt (if selected). Virtual participants are welcome to pick up their packets at the Saturday Packet Pick Up if preferred. The deadline to sign up as a Virtual Participant is Thursday, February 20.

🏅 Half Marathon Details

Half Marathon course cut-off time is 3.5 hours or 11:30 a.m. Those on a pace to finish after this time will be offered a ride back to the finish line. Minimum age to participate in the Half Marathon is 15. Consideration will be made on a case by case basis for youth 14 and under to participate in the Half Marathon who are sufficiently trained: must be accompanied by an adult (who must be registered).

🐾 Strollers, Dogs, Wagons, and Wheels

Wheelchair entrants may participate in all divisions. Racing wheelchairs should start at the front and coordinate with event official: pushed or casual wheelchair entrants should start toward the back. In the 2K, strollers, dogs, wagons (for children or dogs), and wheelchairs are permitted.

⏱️ Timing

Because this event utilizes chip timing for all events, we remind participants that there is no need to crowd the start line when the race starts: your time does not start until you physically cross the mats at the starting line. All age group awards and results placements are determined by chip/net time.

👥 Guides/Support Runners for Adaptive Entrants

If you are a sighted guide for a visually impaired participant, or a support runner/walker for an entrant in an adaptive category, please do not enter the adaptive division. Support runners must be registered for the event either as a standard paid entrant or as a support runner.

🎗️ Beneficiary

The event will benefit Cancer Champions. Read more about their mission at https://cancerchampions.org.
