Founded in 2014, the Heart & Soles Run is a 5K/10K race that takes place in the spring of each year. The scenic course circles around the beautiful campus of Santa Clara University and along nearby tree-lined streets. After the race, watch your kids (2-7 years old) in the Kids Run, visit vendor booths, and enjoy the celebratory atmosphere in the finish area.
Your registration supports local nonprofits that provide students with equitable access to exercise, nutrition, and well-being resources. In total, the event has raised nearly $1 million in support of children’s health and wellness. Event proceeds are donated to the following youth organizations:

Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley
