Willow Glen 5K Run/Walk for Education
Willow Glen 5K Run/Walk for Education is a community 5K held on May 9, 2026 in Willow Glen, San Jose. The event is based at Lincoln and Minnesota Avenues in front of Willow Glen Elementary School.
The course is flat and USATF certified. It begins in Willow Glen downtown and winds through neighborhood streets, with local businesses and residents providing encouragement along parts of the route.
Participants, families and neighbors gather for a festival after the run that includes an awards ceremony and a kids fun zone. The community area features sponsor booths, a pancake breakfast, music, games, massage therapy and a dedicated kids area spread across two areas of the school campus.
Proceeds from the event go to local elementary school PTAs to support programs such as arts, music, science, sports and technology. Registration categories listed for the event include adult, teen or youth, student and child options, with many paid categories including a t shirt, race number and a race bag with sponsor offers.
