Davis Stampede : A Change Of Pace
The Davis Stampede is an annual road race held at Playfields Park in Davis, California. Established in 1983, the event takes place in late February and offers multiple race distances that run through the city and nearby natural areas.
Distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
- 2K Family Fun Run/Walk
Courses travel along Davis’ tree-lined greenbelts, through neighborhoods, and on city streets. The Half Marathon passes through the Wildhorse Nature Preserve, runs alongside Putah Creek, goes near a golf course, and crosses seven bike tunnels.
Registration is handled online and fees vary by entry date, distance, and age; youth discounts apply. Entry fees include a short sleeved performance shirt, a finisher medal, chip timing, and eligibility for awards. There is an option to upgrade to a long sleeve technical shirt for an additional fee, or to opt out of the short sleeve shirt for a small discount. Cash is accepted at packet pick up and on race day.
Packet pick up is at Playfields Park with a day‑prior window on Saturday, February 27 and race day pickup beginning the morning of the event. Parking is available in nearby business parks; participants are asked not to park at the Safeway shopping center. Dogs are not allowed on course and strollers must start toward the back.
All entries are non‑refundable and non‑transferable to another event; transfers to another individual are permitted online before the published deadline. Awards include overall and age group prizes and several special divisions, including a cancer survivor division, Davis resident, adaptive/wheelchair, college students, and teachers.
