There were a few people that run Alum Rock park. Lets check out Alum Rock....

15350 Penitencia Creek Rd San Jose, CA 95127-1348

Directions:
Take 280 S
280 turns into 680-N
Exit McKee Road (right)
Stay on McKee then make a Left on Toyon
Right at Pentiencia Creek
Follow Penitencia Creek to the park entrance, we will park in the parking lot on the left just BEFORE going into the park. If that parking lot is full go back into the residential area and park there and walk to parking lot. The lot is small and fills up so carpooling is recommended.

    Thanks Sara for catching that! I tried to get us in by talking to the Park Ranger, but no cigar. Time is changed to a prompt 8:00 AM! Please see email I sent regarding the details.
    Apologies if this changes anyone's plans for the day.
    Please check this meetup site later today for the post run social breakfast/coffee place...we're still trying to determine that so send in any recommendations.

    Thanks for setting up this event! Do you know if we can still park at 7:30 a.m.? The San Jose Parks website says the park opens at 8.

    I would love to be there with you guys but I'll be running a half marathon in Florida. Have fun, so when's the next marathon for you guys? There's a rumor that Sunny will be running the Arizona half again. :) I like Omega's (off Park Victoria) for breakfast or Mark's hot dogs (Alum Rock/Capital) for lunch.

    •  Thanks for coming out everyone! We'll do it again and find a good breakfast place nearby next time. 
    •  This was a great event. The weather was nice and cool and the trail was beautiful, a little after a light rain. I've hiked this area but never ran it, and I hope to come back again! 
    •  The trails are awesome - not too difficult as first thought. Thanks to Feride & Vic for organizing this. 
    •  Big group for all levels, great new location (for me). I'd love to do it again. 
    •  Great run! Cool that Sunny drove all the way down to join us! Ding a ling ling...ring ring ring!!! It worked..NO Bears!!
