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.

It is not suggested that children under age 11 run unaccompanied in the 2K.
Timing:
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; your time does not start until you physically cross the mats at the starting line. 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.
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 (including sighted guides) must be registered for the event either as a standard paid entrant or as a support runner. To register for the support runner/walker category, select "Support Runner" choice at registration (end of list). Those registering as a support runner will not be eligible for age group awards nor be ranked by age. In the case that support runners wish to receive the full race experience (eligible for awards, ranked by age division, etc) in that case they should register for the distance they are going to run/walk (Half Marathon, 5K, etc) instead of as a Support Runner, but be sure to not enter an Adaptive Division. Email [email protected] with any questions prior to registering.
Notes:- We suggest that support runners/walkers and guides wear high visibility clothing or a vest indicating that they are a guide or a support runner. However, it is not required. - Please do not register as a Support Runner if you do not already have an athlete you are paired with. At this time we do not have a matching program, but will post if there are adaptive entrants seeking support runners.- Please email us at [email protected] with any questions.
