Dixon stampede fun run set for Saturday

The town of Dixon is preparing for a stampede of bison this Saturday – or so the event’s name suggests. The stampede is actually the 4th Annual Bison Stampede Fun Run that invites area runners, joggers, and walkers to help raise money for improvements on Dixon’s school campus that is nearly 100 years old.

Participants can join the excitement and run in a 5 kilometer race, 10 kilometer, or the 1 Mile Run for Fun. Once the races are finished, a pancake breakfast will be served.

The entry fee for the 5k/10k is $25. There is no charge for children under 10 years old. There is no charge for the mile run. Paid registration includes a shirt for the 2018 event, designed by Dixon student Carla Hahn.

Those with questions can call 246-3566, or email [email protected]. Online registration is available at active.com.
