And that’s the last b**r run of the season!

Thanks to all the downtown businesses who welcomed us with cold pints and smiles 😎 🍻

Thanks to all you participated. I hope that you had a good time. If you didn’t get to join us this year, there is always next May :)

Have a great evening, and see you all next year … or at least until I start up the coffee runs ☕️ 😋

Support local businesses!

We are here!

We came out to Gilroy’s hidden gem aka outdoor Disneyland for some fresh air. Between getting our breath taken away from the views and steep climbs, we experienced a true runners high, the only kind of high we promote.

All silliness aside, I’m proud of how far these kids have come. They showed up and put in the work, but more importantly they had fun along the way! In a time where there’s continuous sensory stimulation, it’s good to just disconnect for a bit, even if that means huffing and puffing up a steep trail.

Thanks to the GHS alumni who came out and helped out! ❤️

Milk Chugging Relays!

The first of its kind, in Gilroy anyway! These kids chugged 6oz of milk before hitting a lap around the track as fast as they could! Quite honestly, we were expecting more of a mess, but these kids are tough. Only one bio spill 🤮

Congrats to Vincent, Nathan, Rey, and KC for taking the win!

The kids are already looking forward to next year 😎 🥛 🤢

Hey you! Have you registered!?

Time is ticking! ⏰

We’re now only 17 days away from race day! Come run through old redwood groves and fern! If you’re lucky enough you might even see a banana slug crossing the trail.

Join us for this special day at Mt. Madonna County Park on August 8!

We offer a 5k, 10k, and half marathon! See you at the start line 😎
