Feel great about your support of safe streets
Peak2Peak is more than an unforgettable day of exploration and adventure. Every registration helps power Walk SF’s work to make San Francisco’s streets safer and more walkable for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Your participation directly supports our advocacy for safer street design, slower speeds, and policies that save lives. Every mile you walk helps build a safer city.
The Route
This year’s route might be our most surprising yet. For the first time in Peak2Peak history, we’ll journey entirely through San Francisco’s southeast neighborhoods, from Portola to Visitacion Valley and Bayview to Hunters Point, uncovering some of the city’s best-kept secrets. Expect hidden stairways, spectacular viewpoints, colorful public art, unexpected green spaces, and fascinating places even many lifelong San Franciscans have never seen. It’s an off-the-beaten-path adventure that promises to be one for the books.
The route starts at Louis Sutter Playground in McLaren Park and ends at Barebottle Brewing in Bernal Heights. It will take 6 to 7 hours to complete, depending on group pace.
Note that Peak2Peak routes include uneven paths, dirt trails, steep hills, and stairway climbs, as well as street terrain. Participants must be in good health, without mobility limitations, and able to walk for several hours at a steady pace (about 2.5 mph).
