Who?

You! But, if you are wondering who we are... The Friends of Stevens Creek Trail is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supporting the promotion and completion of the Stevens Creek Trail (linking the Bay Trail to the Ridge Trail) through the communities of Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Cupertino, and Santa Clara County, connecting to trails that end at the Pacific Ocean. Currently, Mountain View's completed segment of trail extends south 4.8 miles from Shoreline Park past Central Expressway and El Camino Real to Sleeper Avenue in Mountain View. And Cupertino has just opened a 0.7 mile segment of trail along the creek extending north from McClellan Road through McClellan Ranch to Blackberry Farm. The Friends of Stevens Creek Trail community outreach volunteers support the Stevens Creek Trail and Wildlife Corridor through habitat restoration and trail projects, creek clean-ups, contribution of funds, and other activities. 

  • Save the date for next year! Sunday 25 September 2011

Please give your thanks and patronage to our generous sponsors!

 

Great Thanks to Microsoft! This marks their sixth year of support for the Trailblazer race as our Presenting Sponsor. The race starts and finishes on the beautiful Microsoft campus. A team of folks at Microsoft helps with many logistics of getting the race setup and run. Microsoft also contributes anciliary items like a sound system and the start/finish line scaffold. We (and you) also have them to thank for many of the great prizes and raffle items. Thanks again, Microsoft!
