Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the 40th Annual Haltom Stampede 5K & Fun Run, set to take place on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in Haltom City, TX. This beloved event, one of Tarrant County's longest-running races, offers both a 5K (3.13 miles) and a 1-mile fun run, providing a perfect opportunity for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to participate. The race kicks off from the Haltom City Senior Center at 3201 Friendly Lane, with participants enjoying a scenic route through Haltom City. While the course is described as scenic, runners should note that it is not entirely flat and road conditions may not be ideal in all sections.

This family-friendly, Valentine's-themed tradition is celebrated for its fantastic atmosphere and community spirit. Runners consistently praise the event as an "amazing race" and "tons of fun," often highlighting the "very cool A/G awards." All 5K participants will receive long-sleeve custom shirts, and top finishers in 15 age groups are awarded highly "coveted handmade ceramic buffalo trophies." Typical race day conditions in mid-February include comfortable highs around 59°F and lows around 38°F, with a minimal 9% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather.

Beyond the enjoyment of the race itself, every step taken in the Haltom Stampede supports a great cause, as all proceeds benefit the Haltom City Parks and Recreation Donation Fund. This fund contributes to park improvements, sports scholarships, and essential programs, making your participation a meaningful contribution to the community. After crossing the finish line, participants can enjoy snacks available at the Haltom City Senior Center. Due to its popularity, arriving early for parking is recommended.
