2025 marks 20-years since I organised the first Stampede race (a six-miler following one of my Multi-Terrain routes around the villages of Shaw, Whitley, Neston & Atworth) and 15-years since I made it all official by incorporating Stampede Sports Limited. In that time Stampede Sports have staged well over a hundred races and hosted National & Regional championships on behalf of England Athletics, The ARC and Wiltshire Athletic Association.
All good things though must come to an end and so it is with sadness that I have to announce that 2025 will be the the final year of race delivery by Stampede Sports.
Preparations though are well underway for the Wiltshire 10 race at Melksham on Sunday 9th February and the Hullavington 20-miler on Sunday 23rd March with The Great Chalfield 10K at Broughton Gifford on Thursday 26th June being our final race.
Our friends at Redfish Events and DB Max will be taking over the organisation of some of your favourite races, so I am passing them over to good hands. I will still be keeping my finger in the metaphorical pie by providing consultancy and other event services.
Have a good year and I look forward to seeing you out racing on the roads of Wiltshire.
