2026 Silicon Valley Turkey Trot GOTRSV SoleMates Registration

Make your miles matter on Thanksgiving morning! Join the Girls on the Run of Silicon Valley SoleMates charity team at the 2026 Applied Materials Silicon Valley Turkey Trot—one of the Bay Area’s most beloved races and the largest turkey trot in the country.

As a SoleMate, your fundraising goes toward Girls on the Run after-school programs across Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, where girls discover their strength, build confidence, and reach their limitless potential.

Why It Matters:  Girls on the Run addresses a critical window in childhood between the ages of 9 and 14 when girls' self-confidence and physical activity levels decline. By combining an intentional, research-based curriculum with physical movement, our after-school program helps girls build emotional skills and lifelong healthy habits before they enter high school. Our 10-week spring program focuses on key life skills (self-respect, self-efficacy, teamwork, and goal-setting) and culminates in a celebratory 5K, where girls experience the confidence that comes from accomplishing something they once may not have thought possible.

All funds raised through SoleMates go toward our 2027 spring season (curriculum supplies and coach training) and our scholarship fund.

Join SoleMates today and turn your Thanksgiving morning into something truly powerful. Thank you for supporting Girls on the Run of Silicon Valley!
