In 2020, the Pinkathon San Francisco will be a Virtual Event during the month of October. In a Virtual Event, you can run or walk whatever distance you want – WHEREVER YOU WANT! We will not be able to do a regular in-person event this year due to COVID Restrictions. However, you are still welcome to use the same course – just make sure to wear a MASK and keep at least 6 feet away from other people while you do this!
Unfortunately, we will NOT be able to meet this year at the outdoor patio for Gott’s Roadside at the SF Ferry Building. This is because Gott’s needs to use this area exclusively for dining for it’s PAID customers, who must do outdoor social distancing due to COVID. We will have a small number of participants meet with masks and social distancing protocols and face masks near the SF Ferry Building on Saturday, October 24, 2020, at 9am PST. Please pre-register at https://pinkathon.com so that we can safely limit attendance. We will only send meeting location instructions to those who preregister online at https://pinkathon.com.
