The Davis Stampede is a longstanding tradition with running and walking in Northern California. The event takes place in South Davis and includes 5K, 10K and Half Marathon routes, which are loop courses that travel along both roadways and Davis’ tree-lined greenbelts.

Entry to the event includes a short-sleeve poly-cotton t-shirt (you can upgrade to a long sleeve technical (100% polyester) shirt through Feb. 13), a finisher medal, timing and eligibility for age group awards, and post race refreshments.

Experienced pacers will lead pace groups in the half marathon for goal finish times from 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, 1:55, 2:00, 2:05, 2:10, 2:15, 2:20, 2:24, 2:30 2:45, & 3:00 and can help you reach your goal time, set a new personal best, and have a great race!

For families, we have a 2K (1.24 mile) run/walk, which is also dog-friendly. This is a great distance for a little one’s first race with a parent or guardian. Medals will be presented to all finishers.


Date: Sunday, February 26, 2023
Location: Playfields Park, South Davis
Distances: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, 2K Family Fun Run/Walk

Packet Pick Up:

 

Saturday, February 25th: 1-5pm at Playfields Park

Race morning pick up is also available, starting at 6:30 a.m. We suggest arriving one hour prior to your race start if picking up on race morning. Race day packet pick up (and late registration) will be located near the Start/Finish line at Playfields Park.

 

People who have symptoms of illness, including fever, congestion, cough, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. are asked to stay home.

Because this even utilizes chip timing for all events, we remind participants that there is no need to crowd the start line when the race starts. All age group awards and results placements, except for the top overall finishers (i.e. first 3 per gender across the finish line), are determined by chip/net time.

There is no fee to transfer to a friend/family member but your request must be completed online through your runsignup account; or if you are unable to achieve it via the online system, your request must be made in writing via email to us by 5PM on February 18, 2022.

If you are unable to do so online, please email us and we will make the change for you.

We kindly ask that all division changes are made in advance. Division changes that are made on race day slow down the results process and also can result in inaccurate race results category/overall placements for you and the entire rest of the event, until your division is able to be switched.
