Stampede

. . . a sudden frenzied rush or headlong flight of a herd of cattle or horses . . . or PEOPLE!

WLD Ranch is hosting its 14th annual Stampede, an adventure run including challenging obstacles, on Saturday, September 26, 2026.

Registration is now open! Register HERE through our online registration portal. 

Stampede is a team-oriented run where the objective is to complete the course successfully. The run is open to anyone age 15 and older or kids age 3 and older who participate on a team with a parent or youth leader - anyone who is up for the challenge of running (or rambling) over the course and through the obstacles. Form a team to accomplish the adventure run together. So rustle up some fellow cowboys and cowgirls - and come run with the herd! (Registration is done individually, but participating as a team is recommended.)


You can register right up to the day of the event!
