As we, the community, grow more sustainable and strive for a healthier lifestyle, we look to our leaders for support and echo the changes we want to see in the world.
With the “Mayor’s Cup Challenge” we give our leaders an opportunity to get involved with us and show their support to many great causes. Not to mention, the Turkey Trot provides a perfect course in which our leaders have the chance to challenge cross-county rivals in a spirited competition.

There’s no better way to strengthen a community than by getting together on Thanksgiving morning and racing for great causes. There’s also no better way for a Santa Clara County or Town to gain bragging rights than with a Mayor’s Cup Challenge trophy! We hope to see you there and can’t wait to award the winning communities in our beautiful Santa Clara County.
How do you participate? Register online, select the Mayor’s Cup Category under the non-timed categories on page 3, choose your city and encourage other elected officials to challenge cross-county rivals in a spirited competition based on participation, not speed.
