Longhorn Stampede 5K Run/Walk : Leigh High School
The Longhorn Stampede is the 10th annual community 5K run/walk held at Leigh High School in San Jose on May 16, 2026. The event uses a flat, USATF-certified course that begins on Los Gatos Almaden Road, proceeds east parallel to the school, winds through Cambrian neighborhood streets, and returns to finish in the school quad. The final half mile is on campus, with the last 100 meters passing the Leigh theatre and gym before the quad finish.
Organizing groups include the Leigh Home & School Club and the school booster clubs for performing arts, sports, and spirit. Proceeds are designated to benefit programs for all Leigh students. On-course support is provided by the school cheerleaders and band, and the event includes awards, a costume contest, and post-race festivities.
Participant services listed for the event include race bibs and professional timing, finisher medals, prizes for top age group finishers, complimentary participant photos, and an event t-shirt with guaranteed sizes for registrations made by May 2. A family registration discount is available for up to five members. The event is presented as a neighborhood run/walk that combines competitive timing with community activities and student-focused fundraising.
