Cowtown Stampede 5K - Presented by Scheels All Sports

Come join us as we run wild through the streets of Cowtown! This fun 5K will take you through Wichita's wild west, along the Museum District, and along the Arkansas River. The course is open for runners seeking a personal best while offering enough eye appeal for those looking for a nice stroll with the family. All participants will receive a t-shirt and participation medal. Awards will also be given by age group and gender.

After the run, join us for an ice-cold sarsaparilla and your choice of food truck goodies! If sarsaparilla is not your thing, we will have other frosty drinks to wet your whistle! Participant and finisher medals have been designed by Strive Awards. Everyone will receive a medal based on the iconic US Marshal's badge adorned officers of the law during the late 1800s. Finisher medals will come in gold, silver, and bronze (1st, 2nd, and 3rd repectively) for the categories listed below.

5K Course

Lil' Buckaroo Stampede Course
The kids will race around the streets of Cowtown for approximately two city blocks or 1/4 mile. For those unfamiliar with Cowtown, these streets are not connected to any traffic and there will be no automobiles on these streets. In other words, the kids will be completely safe from traffic and within the museum compound.

Post-Race Activities
All participants are encouraged to explore Cowtown after their events are complete. The awards ceremony will begin after the runners finish. Cold drinks will be available to participants and food trucks will be on grounds when you get hungry. We hope that you will take a relaxing stroll through Wichita's historic streets and enjoy what has become our passion; Wichita's proud American history!
