Community
Race weekend is bigger than one finish line. From the runners on the course to the volunteers on the sidelines, the Silicon Valley Half Marathon & 5K is built around San Jose's community.
Runners
Whether you're training for your first half marathon or bringing the family out for the 5K, race weekend welcomes runners of every pace, from Riverview Park along the Guadalupe River Trail.
Volunteers
Race weekend runs on volunteers — at the expo, packet pickup, water stations, and the finish line. See our Volunteer page for open roles.
Charity Partner
A portion of every registration benefits Sacred Heart Community Service, a San Jose nonprofit that has served local families since 1964.
