California · Saturday, February 7, 2026
The Monterey Ultra is an ultra event held on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
Join us for another year of fun in the sun! At the Jolly10k you'll take a 10K or a 5K run or walk, through stunning Los Gatos mountain trails and arrive back at the finish line to enjoy fun, food and fellowship. We have informational booths, a variety of resource tables, CPR training and as always the Los Gatos Fire Dept. joins us for a group photo with the Fire Engine. We definitely have fun, but the reason we gather for the Jolly10k is to create a safe environment to have the difficult conversations about addiction and the deadly epidemic of Fentanyl that has flooded our country and stolen far too many young lives. But together, we can remember our loved ones and share life-saving information on how to prevent the next life lost from being someone in your family. Excercise, Information & Education!
Join us in Gilroy, California on Saturday, August 22, 2026, for the Race2Unravel — a powerful day of ACTION in the fight against childhood cancer.
This inspiring community event features a 5K, 10K, and our new 5K Ruck Division — because every step forward fuels critical pediatric cancer research. Whether you run, ruck, sponsor, or donate, you are helping fund innovative research and honoring the children who inspire us: those still fighting, those we’ve lost, and the future we refuse to give up on.
And for our youngest supporters, we've added a few different options. They can participate in the main runs (5K Youth Ages 7–17 or 10K Youth Ages 9-17) or the Kids Fun Run (Ages 2–12) that consists of one lap around the park (just over ¼ mile). Parents are welcome to walk or run alongside their child for the Kids Fun Run but all those participating in the 5K or 10K must be registered. These are great opportunities for children to get involved and feel the spirit of the day.
Move with purpose. Show up with heart. Race2Unravel...until there is a cure!

It combines the benefits of strength training and cardio, making it an effective workout for building endurance and muscle. Weight requirements are 30 lbs for men and 20 lbs for women, and rucksacks will be weighed prior to the start.

The route begins at Christmas Hill Park (Ranch Side) and winds through parts of the Uvas Creek Levee Park Preserve, following the Uvas Creek Levee Trail. The course is mainly flat and fully paved, offering a scenic run through one of Gilroy’s most beautiful natural areas.
