South Valley Running Club History

The South Valley Running Club was formed in the fall of 2004 out of the needs and desires to support local running the South Santa Clara County area.

The club has grown from a handful of dedicated individuals to a club of more than a hundred individuals. The club is geared to supporting runners of all fitness and skill levels; from the first time joggers to the elite individuals. Mentoring programs pair new members with one or more seasoned runners providing a nurturing and supportive environment for all new members.

The club provides numerous weekday and weekend scheduled runs that are set up so that faster or slower individuals can get a fullfilling workout, while being able to still interact, talk and socialize with other club members.

In 2005, the South Valley Running Club became a member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). This affiliation allows the club to draw on the larger, national club's years of expertise and support.
