"California's Longest Party!"
From Marin to Sausalito, across the Golden Gate Bridge through San Francisco to Palo Alto and through Silicon Valley to Santa Cruz, the 128-mile course boasts the largest number of tourist destinations of any walk. After walking for 24 hours through 28 cities, 12-member teams walk to victory along the ocean while furthering The Relay mission to increase awareness of 100,000 Americans waiting for organ transplants.

The Relay Walk Promotes Organ Donation,
Through Organs 'R' Us, the transfer of the baton from walker to walker symbolizes the transfer of an organ from donor to recipient. The 2005 and 2006 Relay Walks were dedicated to three-year-old Katalina Thang of San Jose who waited 2 years for a heart lung donor. On September 4, 2006, Katalina received a new heart and lungs. The 2009-2011 Relay Walks are dedicated to eight-year-old Katie Grace Groebner who needs a new heart and lungs.
