Stanford’s Farm Games spring calendar will continue on April 12, 2026 with a 5K Race scheduled for 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. PDT.
The event is listed as Stanford Students Only, making it one of the next upcoming competitions on the university’s 2025–26 Farm Games schedule.
The race gives Stanford another campus competition heading into the heart of the spring term.
On the Farm Games calendar, the 5K sits between earlier winter events and later spring entries such as Squid Game – Season 2 on April 25 and Women’s Flag Football on May 23.
That places the run as one of the more immediate events on the current schedule rather than something tucked away later in the quarter.
The event is tied to Stanford AOERC, with the Farm Games series calendar listing the location at 285 Santa Teresa St.
That gives the race a clear on-campus setting and keeps it inside the broader Farm Games structure that Stanford has been using for student-focused competition and recreation.
For students, the appeal is simple. A 5K is easy to understand, easy to join, and different from some of the more game-based Farm Games events that fill the rest of the schedule.

It adds a running event to a lineup that already includes boxing, dodgeball, themed competitions, flag football, and basketball. In that sense, the April 12 race helps round out the spring calendar rather than repeat the same type of event again.
The clearest details are already in place: April 12, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Stanford students only, and a spot on the official Farm Games calendar as one of the next events still ahead this season.
For a campus sports story, that is enough to make it timely. Stanford’s next Farm Games moment is not an old boxing recap or a past winter result. It is a student 5K that now stands as one of the closest upcoming competitions on the school’s spring event board.
The event also comes with a few added incentives. Promotional details for the race say the first 70 participants to cross the finish line will receive special medals and tees, while the top three male and top three female runners will get Nike gear.
That gives the 5K a little more edge than a casual campus run and should help draw stronger participation on race day.
