Lace up your running shoes and ignite your Pride at the Silicon Valley PRIDE 3rd Annual 5K & 10K, taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in San Jose, CA. This vibrant event, kicking off at 9:00 AM PDT, offers both a 6.2-mile (10K) and 3.1-mile (5K) option, inviting runners, walkers, joggers, and "fabulous strutters" of all ages and fitness levels to celebrate community, inclusion, and well-being. The course, described as a scenic and "fast and flat" trail run through Hellyer County Park, provides a welcoming atmosphere, allowing baby strollers, joggers, and wheelchairs, ensuring everyone can participate in the festivities.

This high-energy race is more than just a run; it's a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, building on Silicon Valley PRIDE's rich history of advocacy and inclusion since 1975. Participants are encouraged to don their "best rainbow gear" or "boldest, brightest, most fabulous PRIDE outfit" to enhance the fun, festive race day experience. In-person registrants will receive a Pride-themed short-sleeve tech shirt and a chipped race bib, with finishers proudly earning a medal to commemorate their achievement. Typical race day conditions in June offer pleasant weather, with highs around 81°F and lows around 57°F, alongside a 0% chance of precipitation, creating ideal conditions for a memorable outing.

The Silicon Valley PRIDE 5K & 10K starts and finishes at Hellyer County Park, located at 985 Hellyer Ave. While parking is available for a fee, ride-sharing or public transportation is encouraged to ease congestion. Packet pickup will be held in advance at the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Community Center. Your participation directly supports Silicon Valley PRIDE's mission to foster a more inclusive and vibrant LGBTQ+ community, making this event a truly impactful way to connect, celebrate, and contribute.
