Register today and join us for our FREE and fun Bay Bridge Series Challenge this weekend, August 13-16! While the Giants take on the A’s we’re challenging you to virtually Run or Walk the 4.46 miles if the Bay Bridge distance (in the proper direction of course – TOWARD San Francisco Giants territory). Whether you’re looking to test your fitness in a time trial/race format, or if you’re just looking to get your steps in this weekend, this friendly challenge is geared at getting you ready for the the upcoming San Francisco Giant Race presented by Alaska Airlines on September 6th! And yes, you heard us correctly, this Virtual Challenge event is FREE (we would never charge you for the opportunity to one-up the A’s)!
