Course details

Mile 2: You’ll pass the “America’s Best Rose Garden” as you weave through this historic neighborhood and pass the half way point of your race.
Mile 3-5: After you loop back past the Rose Garden you’ll head toward the historic Alameda, a 200-plus year old historical corridor nicknamed the ‘Beautiful Way’. Next up is the SAP Center, home of the San Jose Sharks, prior to heading into the Downtown district.
Miles 6 & 7: We’ve been literally running events downtown for over a decade and it wouldn’t be Run Local without hitting the main business district. Did you know that in 1850, San José was the first city to incorporate in California and also became the state’s first capitol? What is now Downtown, continues to maintain some of this history with many of the buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places including Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Today it is also home to San Jose State University and the award winning Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a collaboration between the City of San José and SJSU, as well as Plaza de César Chávez, which is the host to a number of events throughout the year.
Miles 8 & 12: Let’s go! You’re in the home stretch! Cheer on your fellow runners as you head back toward the lightening fast finish!
