Event Details

This year marks the 24th annual running of the Primo's Run for Education, a half-marathon and 5K road race that benefit the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation in the town of Danville, a suburb of the Oakland/San Francisco metropolitan area. Run along a mostly flat course through the city streets of Danville, this point-to-point half marathon portion of the race starts at 7:00 AM in Primo's Pizza on Danville's Hartz Avenue, and winds through both commercial and districts through the city.

The race sees an elevation gain of about 150 feet between miles 2 and 3 over a stretch of about a quarter-mile, after which the race continues along flat terrain through neighborhoods in southern Danville. The race leaves the city streets for the Iron Horse Trail between miles 7 and 8, for a three-mile stretch until runners get to an area named Bishop Ranch, where they join the 5K participants for the final miles to the finish along Norris Canyon Road.
