Do you want to explore San Francisco by foot? Tired of your usual routes, but want to stay in the city? Do you sometimes think "there have to be some great places to run in this city"? Well, you're right, there are, and we're going to run them. This group is for those who love to run, and also would like to explore SF and learn some new go-to routes. Runs will be scheduled frequently, and will always leave from, and stay within, the city limits.  Other than those restrictions, we'll be free to g …

This is a group for women of any age or athletic ability in the Vallejo Benicia area interested in getting together for walking and running. Let's get together, and have some fun while we get or stay in shape by walking and running. We have beautiful places to get out and just do it here in our area; Mare Island, the Vallejo and Benicia Waterfronts, and Blue Rock ( to name a few). Additionally, we are not far from regional parks and East Bay trails. Suggestions are welcome for where to meet up! …

It all started as a way to combine getting a run in at my favorite micro-brew pub, and now I'd love to expand it further! We'll use this group as a way to do our Iron Springs Pub Runs, both winter and summer, but also to introduce more training runs, both trail and road, both on the streets of San Anselmo, Ross and Fairfax and the trails of Mt. Tam!

We run and explore the roads and trails of Oakland and Berkeley every week. Road Runs are typically in the 4-6 mile range, Trail Runs are in the 5-8 mile range. You can also sign up for a separate run (and store insider) email list for free at either TRANSPORTS location.

There are so many hiking groups, but I wanted to start a group for runners like me that prefer to run the trails than the streets.

Come out and meet other local runners for great camaraderie and motivation. Some of us jog, some of us run, some of us race, but we all have fun!

These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for. Why'd You Start the Group? Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history. I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …
