SAN JOSE GIANT RACE PRESENTED BY ALASKA AIRLINES
JUNE 6, 2020 VIRTUAL RACE – 5 Mile / 5K
Join the San Jose Giant Race presented by Alaska Airlines to qualify for the Turn Two and Three Bagger Series Awards. All virtual runners will receive an official race bib, commemorative shirt, and medal.
In addition, participants receive exclusive virtual swag that we think is pretty cool (but don’t take our word for it, ask the almighty Insta to verify officially) – think DIY finish line, custom Zoom backgrounds, and even a 4-week customized 5k training plan.
Virtual Race Day
As you head out for your Virtual Race this week, we encourage you to Run & Reflect. Reflect on the injustices happening to the Black community in America. Reflect on how you plan to use your voice to impact and create positive change. Reflect on the opportunity we have to create a stronger, more unified, and more equitable society.
Our words and actions have power. Your words and actions have power. We encourage you to tag us (@GiantRace) and share your voice as we move forward in solidarity to end discrimination and violence in our communities.
