Stampede

. . . a sudden frenzied rush or headlong flight of a herd of cattle or horses . . . or PEOPLE!

WLD Ranch is hosting its 13th annual Stampede, a 5K adventure run including 18 challenging obstacles, on Saturday, September 27, 2025. There is also a 2K Family Run (see below).

Registration is now open! Register HERE through our online registration portal.

Stampede is a team-oriented run where the objective is to complete the course successfully. The run is open to anyone age 15 and older (or students age 12-14 who participate on a team with a parent or youth leader) - anyone who is up for the challenge of running (or rambling) over the 5K course and through the 18 obstacles. Form a team of 4-6 people and unite your team with a western theme or simply with the passion to accomplish the adventure run together. So rustle up some fellow cowboys and cowgirls - and come run with the herd! (Registration is done individually, but participating as a team is recommended.)

ALSO FOR FAMILIES: Stampede! Family Run (Saturday, Sept. 27, 11:00am)

Our Family Run is a 2K with a variety of obstacles for the whole family that you can navigate at your own pace. The minimum age of participants can be determined by the parents running with them. All families participating must have at least one adult. The fee is $10 per participant ages 3 and older. Each participant will receive a Stampede! Family Run event bracelet. (Participants under age 3 do not need to pay the race fee and will not receive an event bracelet.) (Family members who participated in the 5K Stampede do not need to pay to participate with their family in the Family Run.) Register below!

You can register right up to the day of the event (t-shirts will be ordered a few weeks ahead, so t-shirt size is not guaranteed for late registrations). There is still time to register!
