There are several events to choose from in the 5K and 10K runs and walks. After choosing 
your distance, feel free to sign up for all the categories you qualify for. For instance, if your company is in the “Fittest Firm Competition,” join them and sign up for it. If you also are a military veteran, sign up for that too. And if you also will be wearing a costume, check that category. Most of all, enjoy some exercise with your community and knowing that you are helping contribute to the three local wonderful charities: Second Harvest Food Bank, the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County, and the Santa Clara County Children’s Health Initiative.
