Santa Run Silicon Valley

Santa Run Silicon Valley is an annual holiday-themed running event in San Jose, California, produced by the Silicon Valley Leadership Foundation. The event offers a 5K Run/Walk and a Kids Reindeer Dash, with in-person or virtual options. The flat, fast course starts on Santa Clara Street and ends at Christmas in the Park, creating a festive downtown route with holiday decorations.

5K finishers receive a holiday-themed long-sleeve tech shirt, an ornament-style medal, and a timing bib; kids get a short-sleeve shirt, medal, race bib, and milk and cookies at the finish. Proceeds support Christmas in the Park and Downtown Streets Team. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
