Run, Walk, Bike Routes and Maps

Stanford Running & Bicycling Route Map(Google)

There will be running, walking and biking groups during the ASB conference for all that are interested in staying active and meeting some new faces.

Runs, walks and rides will meet at Hoover Tower at 6a on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings.  There are many run, walk or bike routes on the map.  Organizers will be able to tell you distances of different routes – and how to get back to your hotel/room.

Road bikes may be rented from The Campus Bike Shop.  If you are interested in more riding routes, visit The Palo Alto Bicycles Local Resources website .  There are many excellent climbs in the area and lots of great riding.

Please e-mail Katy Keenan (kek@stanford.edu) if you think you are going to join the group just in case we have any updates or changes.  Thanks and we look forward to meeting some new faces!
