Sebastopol's iWALK features a circular walking tour of Sebastopol, with 5 scheduled starting points along a 6.3 mile loop. Walkers are encouraged to walk to a neighborhood starting point, where a Community Leader will guide them along the route, picking up new walkers and leaders along the way. Start your walk as early as 9 AM for the morning circuit or as late as 12:25 PM from Ives Park for the afternoon circuit. Choose to walk the entire loop and end at your starting point or choose to walk just one segment. Pack a lunch or snack, water, sunscreen, and hat. Restrooms are available along the route. Walkers are welcome to leave the walk at any time for a shorter journey. Walking celebrities, Richard and Brenda Nichols, will escort the group the whole way, all day.

Saturday, May 16, Salmon Creek School, 1935 Bohemian Hwy in Freestone Join Transition Sebastopol for A Celebration of All Things Fermented Featuring crafters of the fermented arts, farmers, neighborhood health care & volunteer organizations (such as Transition Sebastopol!!) |
We're on the precipice of global disasters of our own making that could forever undermine our ability to survive and thrive on this planet. But we're also on the threshold of awesome and entirely unexpected possibilities that could unleash our largely hidden potential.
This is the kick-off event for the Sonoma County Health Initiative Program that encourages walking as a regular part of a healthful, carbon-lite lifestyle. iWALK is the first of several Health Action initiatives featuring physical activities, healthy eating, and preventive medical care.
