Buffalo Stampede
The Buffalo Stampede is the 52nd running of an annual 10-mile and 4-mile run/walk in Sacramento, California, taking place on Sunday, September 13, 2026. The event is based at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center, 6151 H St, and both courses run through the River Park neighborhood.
Distances:
- 10 Mile Run/Walk course starts and finishes at the Scottish Rite Temple.
- 4 Mile Run/Walk course starts and finishes at the Scottish Rite Temple.
- Youth 4 Mile (age 14 and under on event day).
The 10-mile route includes levee sections along the American River, crosses the Guy West Bridge and the Watt Avenue bridge, and follows the American River Parkway before returning to the finish. The 4-mile course remains within the River Park neighborhood.
The event is organized by the Buffalo Chips Running Club, a not-for-profit organization that supports youth running programs including Youth Chips. The Buffalo Stampede is part of the RunSac Race Series and is included in the NorCal 2x10-Mile Challenge for 2026, a two-race series with a special hoodie for participants who complete both races.
Packet pickup is scheduled the day before at Fleet Feet Sacramento and race-day registration is available at the Scottish Rite Temple. Awards include a finisher medal and top-three awards in 5-year age groups for the 4- and 10-mile events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
