Know the setting
The City of San José identifies Guadalupe River Trail as a core part of its trail network. The name covers a corridor rather than one universal start point. Use the city trail information to research the particular section and any access interruptions.
Shape your outing
For a short run/walk, select a public access point and an out-and-back on a checked segment. Confirm crossings, return access, and daylight. South Bay Sign-off is a proposed crew; this guide does not announce a start location for it.
Share the route well
Do not assume a route is continuous because an app draws a line through it. Review current city information and obey closures. If conditions do not suit your group, choose a different segment or a shorter outing instead of improvising an unfamiliar connection.
Maps, access, and current conditions
Use the official source below for the park map, current notices, and visitor rules. This is an editorial planning guide, not turn-by-turn navigation, a measured course, or a live conditions report. Any organized club outing needs its own confirmed route and event details.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered.
Is this an organized group run?
No. This page is a route-planning resource. Linked crews are proposed and do not establish a date, captain, or meeting point here.
Is there a GPX or verified club distance?
No surveyed club course or GPX is provided. Use the official map and check the exact segment; trail-network lengths do not define your outing.
