These community centers will be connected by nearly five miles of open, car-free streets along Washington Street, the Embarcadero, Terry Francios Blvd. Illinois and 3rd Streets, with the route lined with activities for all to enjoy.

Come out and skip, skate, run, bike, stroll and sample different kinds of physical activity along the way. Organized activities include yoga, roller skating and skating lessons, biking and bike repair, dancing, stretching, guided walking tours, Tai Chi, Boot Camp classes and much more! All activities are free of charge, presented by nearly 100health, fitness, youth and family oriented organizations.

SAN FRANCISCO - Pastel-coloured, stuccoed houses - some light blue, others ivory, pink or beige - drape the sides of the many hills in and around this city confined by a bay and the ocean.
Located on a peninsula and only about 120 square kilometres in size, the city is easy to see on foot in a day with lots of great views of San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

We have done it again - yes, you may notice that the look of Walk California is once again different. Our last web site site change was in 2005, so I figured, with all the hubbub about blogs these days, we'd turn WCA into a blog with a great big calendar.

One big change is that we are no longer supporting the regions outside the San Francisco Bay Area. I am sorry to have to do that, however, there simply wasn't enough demand to warrant the resources.

With that said, over the next few weeks, I will be sending out emails to have you subscribe this new format. All old username and password information is no longer valid.

In the meanntime, feel free to enter your email address on the top right of this page to get a jumpstart on subscribing to the new group. Once subscribed, you can stay informed via email of all new events.

Happy Walking,
Scott
