The Experience
Now in its 43rd year, the Davis Stampede draws about 390 runners each February for a mostly flat half marathon through the greenbelts and neighborhood streets of this college town. About 20% of runners return year after year, a testament to the event's low-key charm and well-organized support.
The course starts and finishes at Playfields Park, winding through east and south Davis on paved paths and quiet roads. With no hills to speak of and typical race-day temperatures in the low 40s to low 60s, it's a welcoming option for first-timers and those seeking a gentle winter run. Runners earn a finisher medal and a performance t-shirt, and the post-race expo adds a festive touch to the morning.
