The Big Bear Stampede isn’t just another local race — it’s a celebration of resilience, community, and purpose set at the historic Roosevelt Arch entrance to Yellowstone National Park. On September 6, 2025, runners and walkers will gather in Gardiner, Montana, for a day filled with challenge, joy, and breathtaking mountain views. What makes this race truly special is its mission: every mile supports education and awareness around depression and suicide prevention. With ultrarunning legend Nikki Kimball adding inspiration and heart in past years, the Stampede blends athletic grit with a powerful cause. Expect a community atmosphere that welcomes participants of all ages, bringing together visitors, families, and locals for an unforgettable experience.
