The Quicksilver Endurance Runs are trail races held at the Hacienda Entrance of Almaden Quicksilver County Park (21785 Almaden Road, San Jose, CA). The event features hilly single-track trails and fire roads that pass through oak forests, meadows, and ridgelines with views of the Santa Clara Valley and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
