Stay at the Row - Hotel Valencia

Whether you’re coming from out of town or would love a staycation at the start line, make Hotel Valencia your home away from home. Located right on Santana Row and literally steps away from the Start & Finish, reserve your San Jose Half Marathon package for you or your group today!
