Lace up your shoes for Stampede the Trail, an invigorating race set to take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in Duncan, Oklahoma. This USATF-sanctioned event offers runners the choice of a challenging Half Marathon (13.1M) or a spirited 5K, alongside a Kid's Fun Run for younger participants. Starting and finishing at the Simmons Center, the Half Marathon kicks off at 7:00 AM, followed by the 5K at 8:00 AM, providing an early start to beat the typical race day conditions of highs around 95F and lows around 71F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation.

The courses, described as "challenging," lead participants along Duncan's "beautiful Heritage Trails." These 3.2 miles of concreted pathways offer a scenic journey, winding around key local landmarks such as the Simmons Center, Chisholm Trail Heritage Center, and Duncan Regional Hospital, complete with bridges and plazas. While specific elevation details are not provided, the varied landscape of these popular community trails promises an engaging experience.

Stampede the Trail is more than just a race; it's a community event that rewards its participants. Runners can look forward to receiving a complimentary t-shirt (while supplies last) and celebrating their achievements with race medals for top finishers in each age division, as well as trophies for overall male and female champions. Early packet pickup is available at the Simmons Center Recreation Center, and the streets are secured for four hours, ensuring ample time for all to cross the finish line and enjoy the festive awards ceremonies that follow.
