STAMPEDE Duathlon - Billings, Montana
STAMPEDE is a run-bike-run duathlon held at ZooMontana with multiple race distances and a separate kids Dash N Pedal. The event uses local open landscapes and conservation areas around Billings and includes a mix of running and road cycling on marked routes.
Distances offered:
- Bert Standard: Run 6 mi, Bike 24 mi, Run 3 mi
- Jay Sprint: Run 3 mi, Bike 12 mi, Run 1.5 mi
- Nellie Short: Run 3 mi, Bike 8.5 mi
The course begins in the ZooMontana parking lot and quickly heads toward the Shiloh Conservation Area. The bike leg follows the Yellowstone River corridor toward Laurel on a wide, open route. The final out-and-back returns to the zoo finish area where spectators and family viewing are available.
Included for participants are a race shirt, finisher medal, post-race refreshments, professional timing, a scenic well-marked course, awards for top finishers, and free entry to ZooMontana after the race. A portion of race proceeds supports ZooMontana’s on-site Veterinary Clinic to help provide medical care for the animals.
Kids Dash N Pedal is open to ages 3 to 10 with separated waves by ability. Formats include a Mini (about 1/2 mile bike, 1/4 mile run) and a Dash N Pedal (about 1 mile bike, two 1/4 mile runs). Helmets are required and children receive a shirt, post-race treats, and a finisher prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
