Buffalo Stampede 10-Mile and 4-Mile Run/Walk 2026

The Buffalo Stampede is a Sacramento run/walk offered in two distances: 10 miles and 4 miles. Both routes begin at 7:30 AM PDT from the Scottish Rite Masonic Center on H Street and travel through the River Park neighborhood. The shorter course provides a manageable local option for walkers and runners, with age categories for youth 14 and under, and participants 15 and older. The 10-mile course incorporates the American River levees and the Guy West Bridge, making it suitable for runners preparing for fall half marathons, including its sister event, the Urban Cow Half Marathon. With over fifty editions held, the Buffalo Stampede is a long-standing Sacramento road race that contributed to the city's running tradition. Sponsored by the Buffalo Chips Running Club as one of five annual events, its proceeds benefit youth running programs in Sacramento, such as the Youth Chips. All finishers get a medal, and 10-mile participants can also count it toward the NorCal 2X 10-Mile Challenge when paired with the Alameda 10-Miler.
