Get ready to lace up, roll out, and celebrate Walk & Roll to School Week and Golden Sneaker Contest! This citywide celebration is all about getting families excited to try a new or different way to get to school — whether that’s walking, biking, scooting, or rolling together as a community. It’s a chance to build healthy habits that last well beyond the week itself, meet neighbors and classmates along the route, and show just how fun the commute to school can be.

Any San Francisco school, from Pre-K to high school, is invited to participate in the fun, in whatever way works best for their community — no two celebrations have to look the same! Schools have the whole week to pick the day that fits their schedule best, so there’s plenty of flexibility to make it a success. However your school celebrates, Walk & Roll to School Week is about starting the year with energy, connection, and a few more steps in the right direction.

Parents, caregivers, teachers and school staff can sign up using the form below to host an event at their school. We’ll connect you with other people interested in hosting an event at your school and offer tips to help you run a successful event.

The “Golden Sneaker Contest” is back for this year’s Walk & Roll to School Week! Running citywide from Oct. 5–9, 2026, the contest challenges students and families to get to school all week using active or shared travel — walking, rolling, biking, scooting, taking transit, or riding the yellow school bus. The winning class, with the highest percentage of students traveling this way, will take home the Golden Sneaker Trophy featuring a Steph Curry brand shoe from the Golden State Warriors.

Stay tuned to your school’s news. Staff or parent volunteers will announce if they’re hosting any Walk & Roll to School Week events on your campus closer to the week of October 5-9.
