Come and join us for our Second Annual SJSU Legacy Run—Our Communities and Mental Health: Activities That Ground Us. A walk, run, roll at San José State University that starts and ends at the Tommie Smith and John Carlos Olympic Statues and will go around the perimeter of the university, passing through the Arch of Dignity, Equality, and Justice or Cesar Chavez Arch.
Date: Saturday, October 29, 2022
Location: Start and finish at the Olympic Statues and perimeter of the university (sidewalk)
THIS IS A FREE EVENT!
This year we will have warming-up exercises before the run, a super fun Zumba class, games like Giant Jenga and Connect Four, face painting, sandy candy, balloon twisting, and a selfie station! We have all levels of fun for our employees, students and the community at large.

About SJSU Legacy Run
With this run we want to celebrate the communities that make up San José State and
the activities that ground us, like running and walking, being outdoors with our family
and friends and with our communities, participating in causes that make us feel connected
to issues that matter to us, and enjoying a physical activity that is proven to support
our mental health and wellbeing. With this run, we also honor the legacy of John Carlos
and Tommie Smith by remembering their excellence and their bravery and reinforcing
the Spartan ideal of fighting for equality and social justice!
