About the Stag Stampede 5k and Fun Run

The course follows a loop that DCA athletes have used as a training run for years, so the roads are familiar to the school's cross-country crowd. It starts at the playground on campus, runs out on paved roads, picks up a stretch of gravel, and climbs a hill near the end before looping back on a dirt path. The terrain is open and gently rolling.

Post-race refreshments are set up at the finish, organized by the school's parent group. Both the longer race and the shorter fun run return to the same playground, so families waiting at the start are also waiting at the finish. Race-morning registration and bib pickup are available before the start.

Common Questions About the Stag Stampede 5k and Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Stag Stampede 5k and Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 33:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:13:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Stag Stampede 5k and Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (73 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Stag Stampede 5k and Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:27 while the median finisher took 33:08. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
