Los Gatos

All distances will start in Vasona Lake County Park and run an "out and back" race. This means you will run on the same park of the trail for each direction equal in length. The staging for the Start-Finish area is at the Blossom Valley and Gateway Pavilion Group Areas to the right just as you enter the park you will see the Pacific Coast Trail Runs Finish Arch. Runners will run/walk along the Los Gatos Creek Trail heading east following the neon green/yellow ribbons. At 2.5K into the event, the 5ker's will turn around and head back to the finish. At 5K in to the event, the 10Ker's will turn around. At the 6.55 mile mark, the half marathoners will turn around and head back to the finish.
