Mayor Gavin Newsom challenges you, your family, neighbors, and colleagues to Shape Up with his second annual Walking Challenge!

Starting October 3, 2007 through December 5, 2007 take our 10-week virtual Shape Up San Francisco Walking Challenge and walk the equivalent of the California Coast!

Free and Fun! You can start a team or join a team, log your miles, and improve your health.

Each team is encouraged to walk 1,016 miles over the 10 weeks, which is the distance along the California coast. Teams will track their miles online where they will also be able to compare their progress against other teams. New this year, teams can continue their journeys by walking the entire West Coast ( California, Oregon, and Washington) totaling 1650 miles.

October 3, 2007 marks the launch of the Shape Up SF Walking Challenge. Join Mayor Newsom at a special event as he celebrates participants for taking the challenge. This is just one part of Shape Up San Francisco and San Francisco’s ”Walk and Roll” Walk to School Day.

You can track activities such as walking, running, biking, playing basketball, dancing, and swimming on weekends or after school by creating your own web page. Contact your Team Leader for assistance. You can also use our Activity Tracking Form. Activities you do with your family can count towards your team’s total mileage. For example, if a family of three walks 20 minutes after school that counts as three miles (1 mile x 3 people). All activity should be tracked online or provided to your Team Leader.

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