The Huntington’s Disease Society of America’s San Jose chapter is holding its 2026 Team Hope Walk and timed 5K run on Saturday, May 16, at Campbell Park in Campbell, according to the group’s event listings. HDSA said the event is free and open to participants of all ages. The organization listed 9 a.m. check-in and a 9:30 a.m. start for the run and walk at East Campbell Avenue and Gilman Avenue. The route will use the Los Gatos Creek Trail, according to multiple event postings. ### When and where does the run start? Campbell Park is the listed site for the event, with organizers giving the address as East Campbell Avenue and Gilman Avenue in Campbell. HDSA’s events page says the San Jose Team Hope walk and run starts at 9:30 a.m. on May 16. A separate event listing says check-in begins at 9 a.m. before participants head onto the trail. (hdsa.org) The Los Gatos Creek Trail is the planned course for the run and walk, according to the event description carried by HDSA’s fundraising page and local event calendars. Funcheap and Upcoming Events both published matching organizer-supplied details about the route and schedule. ### Is it really free, and who can join?
