Walktober is an annual event to get people walking in Pasadena! Walking is a deeply human activity, and we're excited to offer a full slate of events that reflect a wide range of reasons and ways to enjoy walking. Whether you walk for physical health, mental health, to meet people, to see new things, or simply to get things done (maybe all of the above!), we recognize and celebrate that as an excellent thing.

We’re not letting the COVID-19 pandemic stop us, so this year all of our events are themed walks or self-guided walking tours using online resources posted below. You can enjoy exploring Pasadena on foot when and how you’d like - on your own, with your family, your partner, and even your pet. As part of your participation, we encourage you to take pictures and post them to social media while tagging us and using the recommended hashtags.

For our themed walks (like “Walk the Vote”), if you take a pic and share on social media, you can win a raffle prize! Prizes include water bottles, walk-themed face masks, Run With Us gift bags, a collapsible dog bowl, and much more! We also have two extra special themed walks thanks to support from Vice Mayor Tyron Hampton and the Coalition for Clean Air’s 3rd Annual California Clean Air Day. Read on for specific guidelines for each themed walk.

For our self-guided walking tours, we've partnered with council members and other collaborators to provide you with an evergreen library of tours to do on your own free time. Enjoy them during Walktober and the months to come! We'll continue to add more tours as they become available, so check back regularly for new ones to do while safely-distanced!

Remember, we’re @PasadenaCSC. We can’t wait to see you out there!!
