About
Join us for the 14th Annual Santa Run Silicon Valley, benefiting Christmas in the Park!
This 5K Run/Walk is holiday fun for the whole family. You can dress up as your favorite holiday character or tradition, then make your way through San Jose for a festive afternoon celebrating the most wonderful time of the year! The flat, fast course begins on Santa Clara St. and concludes at Christmas in the Park, where you can enjoy the decorations and booths with your friends and family.
Santa Run Silicon Valley offers a 5K run/walk or a Kids Reindeer Dash. Both events are available in person or virtually. All 5K participants will receive our holiday-themed long sleeve tech shirt, ornament-style finisher medal, and race bib with timing chip. Kids Reindeer Dash participants will receive a festive short-sleeved t-shirt, an ornament-style finisher medal, a race bib, and milk and cookies at the finish line.
