Silicon Valley Half Marathon Running

THE RACE

I am so excited to be back to running a few races recently, even if they are virtual. Crazy times we are living in! I recently signed up for the Bay Area’s Silicon Valley 10k & 5k races. I chose these distances over the half marathon because I will be almost 8 months pregnant by the time race day comes along and I want to be able to still run a bit without getting too tired. Had it been a few months sooner I would have loved to have run the half! The fun thing about doing the 5k and 10k races is that you also get the opportunity to earn a bonus Run 2.0 Award! You can also do this if you run the half marathon and the 5k! So it’s a fun way to spend the days between September 18 and September 27th! Bonus, if you are in the area you can even come out to one of a few local courses spread throughout the bay! They will have these courses marked out for local runners - with proper social distancing of course. What a great way to still be able to enjoy a little bit of the racing environment.

THE SWAG

Silicon Valley Half Medals

When you sign up for the event you get some awesome swag of course. For the half marathon you get a long-sleeve tech shirt and medal and for the 10k and 5k you get a short sleeve tech shirt and medal. Plus any bonus medals you earn for running more than one distance. SWEET!
