Save Soil Walkathon East Bay — Free Family Walk at San Ramon Central Park

The Save Soil Walkathon is a free, family-friendly one-hour community walk at San Ramon Central Park on Sunday, May 3rd from 8:30 to 10:00 AM. Vice Mayor Marisol Rubio of the City of San Ramon will join as Chief Guest. It's part of a coordinated 38+ city movement across the US and Canada this spring, organized locally by East Bay parent volunteers.

The walk raises awareness about soil degradation — a quiet but urgent crisis. Over half of the world's topsoil has been lost in the last 150 years, and the UN's FAO warns that 90% of the world's soils could be degraded by 2050. The Save Soil movement is a global awareness campaign backed by the UN's FAO, UNEP, UNCCD, WFP, and IUCN.

The event is open to all ages, stroller- and dog-friendly, and includes simple hands-on soil activities for kids. No fundraising, no sales pitch — just a chance to walk together and start a conversation that matters.
