A near-record number of racers from around the region got an early start to their Saturday morning for the ninth annual Dixon Stampede.
Participants came from as far away as Kalispell, Missoula, Ronan and Hot Springs, joining many local residents. Upon arrival, runners were greeted with a pancake breakfast prepared by volunteers.
As in previous years, students from Dixon School had the chance to design the official Bison Stampede T-shirt. This year's winning artwork came from a third grader, continuing the tradition of showcasing student creativity.
