The 2010 Walking Challenge is March 1 - May 7!

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

Mayor Gavin Newsom challenges you, your family, neighbors, and colleagues to get moving with the fourth annual Shape Up SF Walking Challenge . Take the 10-week challenge with a team to walk the equivalent of the 1,016 mile California coastline and beyond!

To participate, simply start or join a team, log your miles, and track your weekly goal as you improve your health. Walking is easy, fun, and free, but we also want to encourage you to use any kind of physical activity you prefer for this challenge. If your exercise can't be calculated as miles, just use the formula that 20 minutes of vigorous activity (i.e. aerobics, dancing, playing basketball) is equivalent to a mile.

Each team is encouraged to collectively walk 1,016 miles over the 10 weeks, which is the distance along the California coast. Teams log and track their miles online and can compare their progress against other teams.

After you complete the 1,016 miles along the coast of California, your team can choose whether or not to continue with a new challenge across the country and if you are brave enough, around the world!

The Shape Up Walking Challenge is an activity that has been adapted from the "Walk Your State" SPARK curriculum.
