COLOR Run for Reading

Celebrate Mom while making a difference!

Join the 42nd Annual Mother’s Day Run & Walk, benefiting Pajaro Valley Shelter Services, and enjoy a beautiful morning on the scenic trails of Pinto Lake County Park.

There’s something for everyone, including a 1K Kids Fun Run, a 5K run or walk, and a 10K run. Bring the whole family, honor the women who inspire you, and support vital services for families experiencing homelessness.

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!

The inaugural Apple City 5k!

Come run fun easy trails and be a part of the Watsonville community!

Going back to the roots of farming in Watsonville, the Apple City 5k at Pinto Lake County Park is a dedication to agricultural history and life of the Pajaro Valley.

Participants will experience the scenic meadows and trails of the county park, with gentle trails circling the whole park.

The kids 1k will go around the soccer fields near the starting/finish line.

This race is hosted by the Santa Cruz Track Club Fall Race series with 50% of funds going to the Pajaro Valley Education Foundation to support the students of the Pajaro Valley.
