Buffalo Stampede 5K Race and 1 Mile Fun Run 2026

The Buffalo Stampede is a morning 5K race and 1 Mile Fun Run held at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History on Briarcrest Drive in Bryan, Texas. The 5K begins at 7:30 AM, and the mile run starts at 7:45 AM, accommodating runners seeking a timed short race and families preferring a less strenuous distance. The event is part of Boonville Days and benefits the museum. The courses are USATF certified, All Sports Timing handles race management, and disposable bib tags are used for timing, providing the 5K with a more structured race environment than a casual community jog. This is the eighteenth running of the Buffalo Stampede, with the mile option designed to be accessible for children, walkers, and first-time participants alongside experienced runners.
