AIDS Walk
Sunday, 10:30 a.m.
Golden Gate Park
Last year 20,000 participants raised more than $2 million bringing the grand total raised by AIDS Walk San Francisco to $86 million. The money raised from what is now Northern California’s largest AIDS fundraising event goes to support agencies and provide much needed services throughout the Bay Area.
An opening ceremony at 9:45 a.m. gets things kicked off. The walk then begins at 10:30 a.m. with the start/finish line in Sharon Meadow. The 6.2 mile course will take walkers the virtual length of Golden Gate Park. A post walk concert begins at 12:30pm.
If you are planning on participating or going to lend your support, consider taking public transportation and help reduce traffic congestion. Muni service on the N Judah Line, 5 Fulton, 7 Haight/Noriega, 21 Hayes, 33 Ashbury/18th, 37 Corbett, 43 Masonic, and 44 O’Shaughnessy routes will take you to Golden Gate Park or close to it.
Muni service note: the 44 O’Shaughnessy will have a re-route while other Muni service routes near the park may see minor delays due to an increase in ridership.
