About the LSA's Run Home 2026

The race supports an organization that houses and cares for adults with developmental disabilities across the area. The course runs through Vasona Lake County Park, which sits just outside downtown Los Gatos. The park setting means tree cover, paths near the water, and a generally gentle route underfoot.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at Sports Basement in The Pruneyard Shopping Center in Campbell, where your registration gets you a discount on purchases. If you miss that, there is a race-morning pickup window at the park entrance. Note that the park charges a small entrance fee, so bring exact change.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the LSA's Run Home 2026

Will I finish last at the LSA's Run Home 2026?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 54:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:29:53, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the LSA's Run Home 2026 a good first 5K?

It is a small race (170 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the LSA's Run Home 2026?

The 5K winner ran 21:46 while the median finisher took 54:54. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
