Due to unforeseen circumstances, video is not available for the 2024 hog days stampede. Above, are highlights from the 2023 race.

The Hog Days Stampede is held first thing Saturday morning of Hog Days weekend beginning at 8 a.m. Entrants cover the gamut from professional runners to non professional walkers, those in wheelchairs or with crutches and everyone in between. Whatever your pace, it's all encouraged and urged on, celebrating 50 consecutive years of healthy in 2025. Presented by Breedlove's Sporting Goods, The Community State Bank and The Chamber of Commerce, all of Kewanee, everyone is welcome to enter.  This is a competitive racing event for those who want that and prizes and trophies go to the winners.  But for those not into hard core racing, and there are hundreds of entrants in that category each year, get yourself out there and just do it! We promise that you will be cheered across the finish line and "hi-fived" no matter where you place or what your time. Guaranteed!

The Stampede is divided into 3 events: the 4 mile, the 1 mile, and just for kids under 7, the quarter mile.

Over 500 runners and walkers competed in the 4-mile, 1 mile and the kid's quarter mile events.

The official entry form is available here or from the Kewanee Chamber of Commerce.

The 4 mile course record is 19:24 run by Trent Morrell of Good Hope, IL back in 1996! Extra cash will go the first person who can break that mark! It was not broken in 2024.
