Palo Alto Weekly Moonlight Run & Walk

The Palo Alto Weekly Moonlight Run & Walk is the 41st annual charity event at the Palo Alto Baylands (1900 Geng Road). The family-friendly race supports local nonprofits serving kids and families and local independent journalism. It offers a 5K Walk, a timed 5K Run, a timed 10K Run, and a virtual option.

For 2025 there is no half marathon due to route construction; the 10K course has been updated. Water stops are placed at mid-point for the 5K and at miles 2 and 4.5 for the 10K. A new merch booth sells posters, shirts, tote bags and more; proceeds benefit journalism.

Dogs allowed on the 5K walk, not on runs; headlamps recommended. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
