From the organizers

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 walkers. Starting and finishing at Davis’ Playfields Park, the Davis Stampede is a great way to kick off 2026 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.

Registration for the 44th Annual Davis Stampede will open on October 1.
