Buffalo Stampede 10-Mile and 4-Mile Run/Walk
The Buffalo Stampede takes place on September 13, 2026 at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center, 6151 H St, Sacramento, California. This edition is the 52nd running and features multiple run/walk distances held on courses that travel through Sacramento’s River Park neighborhood.
Distances:
- 10 Mile Run/Walk
- 4 Mile Run/Walk (age 15 and over)
- Youth 4 Mile Run/Walk (14 and under)
The 10 mile course starts and finishes at the Scottish Rite Temple, runs approximately four miles through the River Park neighborhood, then follows the bike path adjacent to H Street toward the American River. Runners use the levee south of the river near California State University Sacramento, cross the Guy West Bridge, continue on the levee to Watt Avenue, cross the Watt Avenue Bridge, run along the south side of the American River Parkway, pass under the H Street Bridge, and return to the finish.
The 4 mile course also starts and finishes at the Scottish Rite Temple and runs through the River Park neighborhood.
All finishers receive a medal. Awards are given to the top three finishers in five-year age groups for both the 4 mile and 10 mile events and may be picked up at the awards tent after the race.
The race is organized by the Buffalo Chips Running Club, a not-for-profit group that supports youth running in Sacramento and sponsors several community running events. The Buffalo Stampede is part of the 2026 RunSac Race Series. For 2026 there is also a NorCal 2x 10 Mile Challenge pairing this race with the Alameda 10 Miler, offering a commemorative hoodie for participants who complete both races.
