RANCHOS WALK 2019

Join us for Ranchos Walk 2019. We are planning the event now, so save the date. Check back soon for more information.

Take a walk through history and follow a crest trail that links Rancho Los Alamitos and Rancho Los Cerritos. The 9.4-mile scenic walk connects the CSULB campus, Reservoir Hill, Hilltop Park in Signal Hill, Longview Point at Willow Springs Park and Rancho Los Cerritos. There will also be 6-mile and 3.5mile options available. Shuttles will be provided.

The inaugural Ranchos Walk was a smashing success. Over 400 people joined us and experienced the cities of Long Beach and Signal Hill in a whole new way!

JANE'S WALK
May
2
to May 5

JANE'S WALK

Held in early May each year, Jane’s Walk is an international celebration of walking and community honoring the legacy of Jane Jacobs, the writer and activist. These walks are community-lead, and meant to be shared experiences of discovery.

Walks are lead by and for the community. The idea is to get out there together and share an experience in the streets, to learn more about the neighborhood, share stories, and have fun.

LB WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK

Held in late March each year, this is the local version of National Walk to School Day. The build up to the event includes a student “It’s Cool to Walk to School” poster contest and distribution of “Get Out of Jail Free” and walking loop cards the week before. Walk to School Week includes welcome tables at select elementary and K-8 schools across the city to promote safely walking to school both as quality time for parent/grandparents and the kids, as well as a personal wellness and community awareness activity.

If you would like to learn more about walking to school, or to volunteer for the welcome tables, please contact us.

WALKING AMBASSADOR TRAINING

Join us for a lovely walkabout and learn how to start and grow walking clubs of all types while we stride.

Grab some coffee or a snack at Portfolio Coffeehouse at 4th and Junipero at your leisure. At 9 sharp, we'll start walking together, stopping along the way to talk about various types of walking groups and how they operate.

We'll be traveling through historic Carroll Park, stop by Trolley Park and Bixby Park, and more, ending up back on Retro Row, about 3 miles total.

Wear comfortable shoes. Bring a hat and light jacket (weather is supposed to be around 67). And maybe bring along a clipboard and pen to take notes on the handout we will provide.

See you Saturday!
