Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:14 GMT

Downtown San Jose will be filled with Santa Clauses on Sunday morning as the Santa Run Silicon Valley returns for its 12th year. But you’ll have to get up pretty early this year to see all the guys and gals dressed as jolly ol’ St. Nick, or maybe an elf or a reindeer.In previous years, the 5K run/walk has taken place in the afternoon with the finish line at Christmas in the Park, allowing runners to come in as the late fall sun is setting. This year’s race will still finish at San Jose’s beloved holiday display, but it’ll start at 8 a.m. With fewer people on the road in the weekend morning, that should mean fewer traffic backups downtown and on The Alameda, which is the race’s main street.There still will be a costume contest with judging at 7:15 a.m. at the starting line at West Santa Clara Street and Almaden Avenue, and the Reindeer Dash for kids 2 to 7 will take off near the finish line 9:30 a.m.You can still register for either the in-person o...
