Event Details

Following an out-and-back 13.1-mile course that takes runners through the streets and scenic trails of this Northern California town just to the south of San Jose, the Jungle Run Half Marathon in Los Gatos offers up plentiful natural scenery with a course that unfolds along the waters' edge of Los Gatos Creek. Mostly fast and flat, the race starts and finishes at the track of Los Gatos High School (with a starting time of 7:00 AM for all events).

From the school, the race takes runners northward through the city and then onto the Los Gatos Creek Trail, a several-miles-long nature trail that leads participants to the city's Vasona Park, a 45-acre county park with a waterfront playground and 6 miles of paved trails. After running a loop around the park, race participants are then directed southward back onto the Los Gatos Creek Trail to Old Town Los Gatos, where they meet the unpaved section of the trail and hit the turnaround point before the dam. After the turnaround, runners are directed back the same direction toward the finish line at the high school.
