About this adventure
The Silicon Valley Santa Run is a holiday 5K through downtown San Jose on a Sunday afternoon in mid-December, starting at W Santa Clara Street and Almaden Avenue. Alongside the 5K, the Kids Reindeer Dash is a short race for children ages 2 to 7, a fun first race for preschoolers and early elementary kids, and a virtual 5K and Reindeer Dash can be run from anywhere through December 20. Register in advance on the race's RunSignup page; prices rise after November 10. It is promoted alongside the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot, with a bundle discount for running both.
