Buffalo Stampede!

Since the dawn of time*, runners have gathered on the 1st Sunday after Labor Day to run the Buffalo Stampede. The race has grown and shrunk again over the years but it remains a “must do race” for the Sacramento running community.
Many locals think of it as the kick-off race for the build up to the California International Marathon, and the weather for this year’s event could hardly have been more perfect.
Several years ago, the Buffalo Chips added a second, non-competitive race for slower runners–now known as the Parrott Migration.
