Applied Materials Silicon Valley Turkey Trot Race Description

Start Thanksgiving Day off on the right foot at the Applied Materials “Silicon Valley Turkey Trot”. Before the big games, the big meal, the parades and the pies, why not get in a little exercise with a few thousand neighbors? It’s an event the whole family will enjoy! Many have made the “run” or “walk” a Thanksgiving Day tradition.

You’ll also be giving “thanks” by helping Healthier Kids Foundation Santa Clara County, Housing Trust Silicon Valley, Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County and The Health Trust. These charities provide families with their most basic needs for “health, hope, and a home.” The “Silicon Valley Turkey Trot”, founded and produced by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Foundation, is now in its 12th year and the total amount given to charity has exceeded $5 million.

There are several events to choose from within the 5K and 10K runs and walks, along with a kids fun run. Elite runners, joggers, and walkers will enjoy the downtown San Jose course, which is flat, fast and flows through downtown neighborhoods and business areas.

Great Race, Beautiful weather and atmosphere, I was disappointed that there was a separate welcoming area for employees of certain companies who asked " do you work for (company)? when people were approaching certain desks, it was kind of off-putting for general participants this year. We all celebrate and give to the same charities /programs when we register! I would like to be contacted as I lost my prescription eyeglasses along the route, and I do not see anywhere to contact event for this request/ inquiry.
