What a Homecoming weekend! 🖤💛

From a week filled with school spirit and campus events to Saturday’s Alums & Friends BBQ and an electric afternoon at Cowan Stadium, Roadrunners came together to celebrate what makes Butte College special.

We were proud to recognize our newest Butte College Hall of Fame inductees at halftime and enjoyed an incredible performance by our Butte College cheerleaders that kept the energy high throughout the game.

On the field, our Roadrunners left it all out there, playing with heart, determination and Roadrunner spirit from kickoff to the final whistle.
Thank you to everyone who made Homecoming 2026 such a memorable celebration. Once a Roadrunner, always a Roadrunner!
