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

Starting March 9, 2009 through May 15, 2009 take our 10-week Shape Up San Francisco Walking Challenge and virtually walk the equivalent of the California Coast and beyond!

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. Just use the formula that 20 minutes of vigorous activity (i.e. swimming, dancing, playing basketball) is equivalent to a mile. You can start a team or join a team, log your miles, and improve your health.

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!

Make sure to check back here for updates on NEWS and EVENTS about this year's challenge. If you have any questions, please check the Contact Us page for more details.

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