37 Years of Stampeding Through the Streets of Davis

Sunday, February 24, 2019 The Davis Stampede will return for another year of running, walking and galloping on Sunday, February 24th.

On 2/24, we will honor badge #224.

We at a Change of Pace Foundation, like many members of our community, are deeply saddened by the passing of Officer Natalie Corona. Her inspiration and dedication were beyond impressive. The outpouring of community support since the tragedy, from local businesses to community members, reminds us why we love this city.

Over the past 31 years, the Davis Police Department’s involvement with ACoP events has played an integral role to help ensure the safety of each and every participant. We continue to stand by their side with heavy hearts. We feel it is vital to recognize and remember Natalie’s efforts and the impact she had on the department and community. Given the fact that she enjoyed fitness, and especially running, we wish to symbolize the departments void by keeping her spirit alive at all of our Davis-based events for the entire 2019 season.

This year the Davis Stampede falls on February 24, or 2/24. This date was also the badge number of Officer Corona (224) who enthusiastically assisted at some of our recent events.

As part of ACoP’s tribute to Officer Corona, we plan to place her badge number, 224, on all Davis-based event t-shirts this year. We will also be making a contribution of $2.24 from each Davis Stampede entry to the Davis Police Department, which will be used at their discretion in her memory. We are confident her commitment, enthusiasm and smile has set the bar for many others to follow.

Q: Can people still sign up during packet pick up / race day?

A: Yes, IF we still have space. There are field limits on each event based on the quantity of finisher medals we have available. There will be computer kiosks at which you can register. We accepted credit/debit, cash and check.

Race Bibs

Please wear your bib on the FRONT of your body during the race. It should be visible so that timing officials, course monitors and photographers can see it.
Safety pins will be available at registration.
There will be a label on the back of your bib with your race information (name, gender, age, distance, team). If any of this information is incorrect, please notify staff at the problem registration area or at the timing tent at the finish line.
The back of all bibs (except for the kids run) will have a timing chip affixed to it. Please do not bend or remove the chip.
Your bib color corresponds to your race distance. 5K=blue, 10K=yellow, Half=pink, Kids Run=white. If for any reason you do not participate in the corresponding division (injury, DNF, etc.), please notify a timing official at the finish line.

Parking

A parking map can be found here: http://changeofpace.com/event/davis-stampede/#1486433158119-f4ad2fc4-1487 . Please consult it prior to race day. There is no athlete parking available in the Playfields parking lot, as it is the staging area for the start/finish and vendor booths.
There is bicycle parking within Playfields Park.

Course

Course maps are posted on our website here: http://changeofpace.com/event/davis-stampede/. We suggest reviewing the course map for your division prior to race day, and making a note of pertinent turns and where the water stations are located. Each water station will offer water and fluid replacement. There are bathrooms at each water station. If you feel you will need fluids more frequently, or additional nutrition, please carry it with you.

IMPORTANT COURSE NOTE FOR 10K/HALF & 5K: There are many cool tunnels along this route, however the most important one will be the one that enters Playfields Park. After you exit the bike tunnel at approximately mile 2.75, be sure to LOOK, READ & FOLLOW the signs. Here, the 10K/Half will veer to the left to continue to mile 3. At this same point, the 5K will make a right turn (toward the soccer field and head toward the finish line.

Half Marathon Pace Groups

The Golden Valley Harriers, a running club in Davis, have generously donated their time and energy to organize and train for the half marathon and will be providing pace group leaders. Pace groups will be: 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, 1:55, 2:00, 2:05, 2:10, 2:15, 2:20 and 2:24. The 2:24 pace group is being run in fallen Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona’s honor, as her badge number was #224.

Like with all of our race volunteers, if you get a chance to extend your thanks to the members of GVH for assisting on race day with pace groups, we are sure they would appreciate the support.
