On April 28, 2019, the Rotary Club of Los Gatos presents the 42nd Annual Great Race, a scenic footrace/walk from Saratoga to Los Gatos. Since 1978 this community event has taken participants from the South Bay and beyond 4-miles down Highway 9 from Big Basin Way in Saratoga to N. Santa Cruz Ave. in Los Gatos.
Start time is 8:30AM.
Also we are continuing complimentary access to photos taken at the event by professional photographers. You will be able to download- at no cost- all individual and group photos and shots of you breaking away from the pack! Keep those cell phones in your pocket and let a professional take photos this year. This is a $20-$50 option at most races that is included to enhance your race experience.
The event is great for racers, joggers, walkers and families. Special rate for kids 12 and under. Proceeds support Rotary's youth and community projects.

Race Map
The starting line is at Big Basin Way & 3rd St. in Saratoga. Runners turn right at Highway 9 and finish on N. Santa Cruz Ave & Elm St. in Los Gatos. There is a water station midway at Jack Rose Libation House.
Packet Pick-Up
If you did not select the option to have your bib mailed to you, it can be picked up on race day at the registration area near the starting line or on Saturday from 10AM-2PM at Athletic Performance at 55 Main St. in Los Gatos.
Parking/Shuttle Bus Schedule
Shuttles will be provided in Los Gatos from 6:45-8:00 AM to bring runners to the starting line in Saratoga. The buses will be leaving from the parking lot on Grays Lane just north of University Avenue.
Return shuttles will be provided after the race until 11AM to bring runners from Los Gatos back to Saratoga.
Sweat truck: For 4-milers, leave your sweats on the truck at the starting line in Saratoga and pick them up at the Fun & Fitness Fair in Los Gatos.
We recommend catching the shuttle bus earlier rather than later to prevent bottlenecks and missing the starting time.
Photographs
The Great Race will offer complimentary access to photographs of the race, taken by professional photographer. All registrants will be able to download all photographs of themselves and any group shots. Leave your cell phones in your pocket and let a professional take photos this year. Most races that offer this charge between $20 and $50. Great value! Click on link below to search for your photos after the race. Make sure you make your bib visible to allow a search.
Fun & Fitness Fair
