SANTA CRUZ WESTSIDE HALF MARATHON 10K/5K

Welcome to the enchanting Santa Cruz Westside Half Marathon, 10k/5k, where the lively Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk sets the stage for a scenic coastal run. Participants traverse the iconic West Cliff Drive, with the vast Pacific Ocean as their backdrop, invigorated by the sea breeze. The race reaches its pinnacle at the turnaround point along the majestic bluffs of Wilder Ranch State Park, where rugged cliffs offer breathtaking ocean views. The return along West Cliff Drive captivates once more, leading to a triumphant finish on Cowells Beach. This immersive experience seamlessly blends the thrill of running with the serene beauty of Santa Cruz's coastal charm.

Move with purpose. Celebrate with heart.

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!
