2020 Stow Lake Stampede Update - Race Cancelled
We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in San Francisco, which has been evolving daily and sometimes hourly. We are very disappointed to have to cancel our March 29th race in light of the requirements for social distancing to protect our vulnerable populations. We are making this decision out of respect for the health and well being of the greater community.
It does not appear likely that we will be able to find an alternative date for 2020 that works with Golden Gate Park availability and the USATF Pacific Association’s racing schedule. We would like to give you the opportunity to defer your registration to next year, obtain a refund or donate your registration amount to the Impala Racing Team—whatever you choose.
If you opt for a refund, we will deduct $1.95 to cover processing fees, and original registration processing fees are non-refundable. If you donate your registration amount, your donation will help cover our incurred race expenses, and we can provide you with a 510(c)(3) donation receipt. There will be no fees associated with a deferral. We expect that SLS 2021 will take place in March/April of next year.
Please follow the steps below and fill out the online form according to your preference by 11:59 p.m. PST, March 31st.
Instructions:
1. Open your Race Roster Participant Dashboard
2. Select "Edit Registration" for the Stow Lake Stampede
3. Fill out the brief form and hit save
We look forward to seeing you next year to celebrate healthy bodies and running strong at Stow Lake Stampede 2021.

Join us in the fourth annual running of the Stow Lake Stampede 5K and Kid's Mile! The 5K is part of the Pacific Association-USA Track & Field (PA USAT&F) Road Short Course Grand Prix Series*. It is held in the beauty of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on a flat and fast course. The event is open to the entire running community and will include an elite field, prize money, age group prizes, giveaways, and more. The Kid's Mile is for children ages 12 and under. With the help of our generous sponsors and the tireless work of the Impala Racing Team, this will be a race to remember! Please visit our Facebook and Instagram event pages for updates. #stowlakestampede
The race is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, rain or shine. All 5K participants will receive a commemorative gift, however, PAUSATF membership is required for prize money payouts**. Be aware that headphone use during the race is not allowed for USATF athletes per competition rules. Officials will disqualify any USATF athletes wearing headphones from prizes or Grand Prix scoring. This rule does not apply to all other race participants but we do ask that everybody exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings if they choose to wear headphones during the race. Post-race festivities will also take place near the Conservatory of Flowers in Peacock Meadow, in Golden Gate Park.
The Impala Racing Team is excited to donate a portion of our race proceeds to Back on My Feet, which combats homelessness through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources. Its unique running-based model demonstrates that if you first restore confidence, strength and self-esteem, individuals are better equipped to tackle the road ahead. For more information, including how you can join a run, see www.backonmyfeet.org. Click here to donate to BoMF!
All entry fees are NON-REFUNDABLE and non-transferable.
Strollers MUST start at the back and be careful not to impede other participants.
