FunRun: Palo Alto to Santa Cruz

Back road enthusiasts' FunRun

About this event


UPDATE: With 70 registered cars for this FunRun, any new registrations will be wait-listed. 


We're on a roll here, gearing up for our second ‘15 Golden Gate Region FunRun: Palo Alto to Santa Cruz to Los Gatos. This is a two part Drive, alternating tight twisties with sections of big sweepers and back again. The 1st part is a 2 hr. drive that takes us up Page Mill Rd to 35, down Bear Crk Rd to 236, up Jamison to Empire, down Pine Flat to Lunch at Davenport. Did I say LUNCH? Yup, we’ve got a restaurant menu for you to choose between 4 entries, all for 21 bucks, tip/tax included. You buy your own beverage. The 2nd part takes just over 1 hr, leaving from Davenport after lunch, heading south through SCZ, up Branciforte to Soquel San Jose Rd, then down Old Santa Cruz Highway to 17, just west of Los Gatos. We'll meet Saturday, March 21 at 9 o’clock near Palo Alto [address to follow], and after signing waivers we will again divide cars into appropriate groups, depending on drivers' desired pace. Because this Fun Run is not a leisurely "destination tour," you'll need to give some thought to your diving style. This is an energetic drive and we want members to be comfortable and above all, safe. Here are several details to note: 

1/ Due to high demand for these FunRuns, this drive is open to Golden Gate Region drivers only; Porsche cars only.
2/ You need to open an account on MotorsportsReg.com and sign-up both driver and your passenger [passenger need not be GGR member]; $10 per car entry fee is non-refundable.
3/ If driver has never received a GGR name badge, be sure to check the appropriate box when registering, and we’ll have one for you.
4/ $21 per person lunch tab is likewise non-refundable;  choose your entre’ on MotorsportsReg.
