bring snacks & water, but we'll have a lunch and semi-frequent coffee/pastry stops
PARTY A-CROSS TOWN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
TL;DR: We’re walking across the whole city twice. Join us from sunrise to sunset, or anywhere in between, on the longest day of the year. ☀️
The first year was so good, we’re running it back.
We’re again taking on both the Crosstown and Double Cross trails in one glorious, slightly unhinged day. It’s a full San Francisco sampler platter: neighborhoods, hills, bay, ocean, fog probably, and whatever your legs are made of.
You absolutely do not need to do the whole thing. Join for a mile, a segment, a vibe check, or the full endurance saga. Pop in, pop out, dramatically re-enter later like it’s a third act.
⚠️ WARNING: FAST WALKERS WANTED
We’ll keep things moving. If you’re joining for a longer stretch, come prepared to keep pace. If your feet declare independence halfway through, no hard feelings. Peel off and live to walk another day. We love you either way.
EXPECT:
• ~32 miles total, but we’d love to see you even for a mile or two
• ~3 mph cruising pace
• Sunrise somewhere beautiful 🌅
• Lunch break
• Sunset somewhere dramatic 🌊
• Good people, questionable decisions, elite city views
NOTE: The times below are arrive-by times. We plan to start walking about 10 minutes after the listed time, so please show up ready to roll.
