Rodeo Stampede 5K, 10K - Waco

Saddle up for a spirited challenge at the Rodeo Stampede in Waco, Texas, set to gallop into action on February 14, 2026. This full-blown western adventure, hosted by Bigfoot Running Company, promises an electrifying experience through Waco's scenic parks and greenbelts, with a course featuring some hills on paved roads. Runners can choose their distance from a speedy 1 Mile, a 5K (3.11 miles), a challenging Quarter Marathon (6.55 miles), or a mighty Half Marathon (13.1 miles). Little cowpokes can also join the fun with a dedicated Kids Dash, complete with their own shirt, medal, and recognition pin.

The event comes alive with live music from DJ Sasquatch, personalized announcements at the finish line, and high-fives from the Bigfoot mascot.
