Make it local

South Bay Sign-off is the proposed San José social crew. Its time-based run/walk format is meant to fit a working day without making beginners chase a fixed distance. Guadalupe River and Los Gatos Creek guides are starting points for route research.

Plan the journey as well as the run

The region’s trail network is extensive, but a familiar trail name does not confirm a specific segment is suitable today. A future run leader must check access points, current interruptions, the turnaround, and the journey back.

One region, a shared finish-line goal

The First 100 connects local habits to a bigger mission: helping 100 Bay Area tech workers finish their first marathon. You can remain a casual runner, support a beginner, or work toward your own first finish. Changing chapters to suit your week will not change your place in the community.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered.

Does this chapter have a regular schedule?

Not yet. The listed crews are proposed formats, and route guides are resources for independent planning.

Can I join more than one local crew?

Yes. There is no exclusive chapter membership. Choose an appropriate pace, format, and location for each outing.

LESS SCROLL. MORE STRIDE.
