Club Mission

The Quicksilver Running Club of San Jose California, also known as QRC, was established to promote physical well-being and friendships through running.

Additionally, it has a purpose that reaches beyond the club, into our community, to promote Healthy Kids through trail running, and Trail Advocacy by expanding the accessibility of trails.

January Trail Work Day - Sat. 1/25 10:30AM

Hello QRC runners! If you need volunteer trail hours, you are in luck. The first work day will be January 25, 2020, meeting at 10:30AM (not 8:00AM!) and working until 2:30PM. We will meet at Web Canyon at 10:30AM.

You will want to bring gloves and clothing to protect yourself from ticks and poison oak. The ticks are out in full force right now. Please email Jim Yates at jyates1006@gmail.com if you are planning on being a part of the trail work team.

Thanks!
