Go Far Run Club is a run/walk/hike group for folks in the San Jose/South Bay Area. This run club is for anyone who enjoys road running, trail running, hiking, and walking. We do our road runs primarily on the Los Gatos Creek Trail and our trail runs in Quicksilver Park. We also do special event runs where we visit trails throughout the Bay Area! After our runs we sometimes frequent local eateries for some yummy food and beverages! Hope you join us and go for a run!

This is a group for fit hikers. While the trails aren't dangerous, they are usually very steep. Trail shoes of some sort will make your hike easier, though hiking boots aren't typically needed.

We will hike to the summit, then where possible, and if you want to, run part or all the way back out. Everyone goes at their own pace, we don't wait for slower hikers* …
