Results are here for the 2019 10k
Join us on Sunday, March 24th for our 6th Annual Racing Hearts 5k walk/run and 10k run in downtown Palo Alto. We are excited to celebrate active living for heart disease and to help place life saving heart defibrillators (AEDs) in our community. Register online now through race day or in person at our packet pickup at A Runner's Mind Los Altos from 11AM-3PM on Saturday or Sunday morning at the event starting at 7:30AM.
We have NEW 5k/10k Routes (see course map below)
Limited Spaces available: We are limited to the first 1000 people who register. All registered race participants will receive a long sleeve tech shirt and a race medal. Completing the Racing Hearts 5k/10k also counts toward the Run Palo Alto Challenge.(*)
We are super excited to welcome back Randy Hahn, Broadcaster for the SJ Sharks as our 2019 Announcer! Thank you Randy for supporting our mission of heart safety for all!
(*) Participation in all three Palo Alto 2019 races (Racing Hearts in March, and Great Race for Saving Water in April, and Chili Chase in July) will enter you in a drawing for a free new pair of running shoes (up to $150) provided by our partners at a Runner's Mind in Los Altos.
Please note: While there are no refunds, our team would be happy to transfer your registration to another participant.
