Facebook Event Page for 2020

Folks interested in celebrating Jack LaLanne Day in the San Francisco Bay area are invited to participate in the Albany Community Triathlon that is adapting to the coronavirus pandemic by holding a virtual, self-designed & self-monitored multi-sport event in 2020 between September 19 - October 31, 2020. Details here!

Someday, when JLLDay is officially recognized as an international day of health, Sep 26th will be a day to focus on working out instead of going to work. In the meantime, we'll do a condensed celebration workout since JLLDay falls on a weekday. On Thursday 26 Sep 2013 at 6:45pm Friday 27 Sep 2013 at 7:00pm (rescheduled) you are invited to join a "California mile" run up Nob Hill in San Francisco on California Street. Meet near the trolley stop outside of the Embarcadero BART station. Look for a guy with a JLLDay.org sign. We'll head out by 7pm, running to the top of the steps at Grace Cathedral and convene at the labyrinth for a surprise.

Since JLLDay falls on a workday this year, we're celebrating with a short workout & power lunch at one of Jack's favorite restaurants in the heart of downtown San Francisco.

Meet at 11:30am at the Embarcadero BART station (outside on street level -- look for a guy wearing a TeamHuman.org t-shirt). We'll do a "California mile" run up Nob Hill on California Street (this was a SF tradition in the '70s-'80s). Run to the top of the steps at Grace Cathedral and meet at the outside labyrinth for a surprise.

Then we'll convene for lunch at 12:30 at John's Grill which serves "Jack LaLanne's Favorite Salad" (63 Ellis St., near the Powell Street BART). If you're planning to do lunch with us, bring along a change of clothes and RSVP to Steve.

Starting in August 2011, the free monthly check-in day workouts have moved to a fixed day/time/location for increased convenience:

It's already been a month since we celebrated Jack's birthday. If you missed out -- don't worry! Do something fun & positive for your health for this month's JLL check-in day.

For anyone in the SF Bay area that is interested in a fun group workout, meet at Noon on Oct 25 (can't make the 26th due to travel conflict) at the Berkeley pedestrian I-80 bridge (map). Workout agenda: Jog around Cesar Chavez park, with some random "fun" thrown in. We'll start with our traditional 100 jumping jacks and head out by 12:15.

Jack traditionally did challenging feats of strength workouts on his birthday to demonstrate his commitment to fitness and to show that anything is possible if you have the will. Now it's our turn to do something positive for our health, show Jack we got his message, and offer gratitude for all he's done as an icon for healthy living.

So choose something positive and perhaps a bit challenging to do on this day for your fitness and/or nutrition. Doesn't matter where you are or what you decide to do, just keep it positive, reasonable, and safe. It's up to YOU to make it happen!

If you're in the SF Bay area and interested in a fun group bike ride, join the JLL-historical bike ride starting in Berkeley and ending in San Francisco. Full details here. Meet at 9am on Sunday 9/26 at the Berkeley I-80 pedestrian overpass (Ride will finish ~3pm. Don't forget water, healthy snack, optional jacket and swim suit+cap, and pray for nice weather like we had last year!)

For anyone who will be at Berkeley Tuoumne Camp on 26 July, meet Steve at 4pm in front of the dining hall for a group run + something extra. Berkeley weather: rain or shine,

This month's group workout will be a repeat of last month's revival of the California Mile: a run up Nob Hill on California Street in downtown San Francisco. This was a tradition from the 70's & 80's. The hill is not a mile long, but it'll take you about the same to run up it as running a flat mile. Meet at high Noon at the Embarcadero BART station (outside, street level). Look for a guy wearing a sunny bike jersey. We'll start with some warm-ups and then head down CA street from there. (Note that this is not an officially organized event. We'll run on sidewalks and if you get stopped at a red light, do some pushups or jumping jacks while you wait!)

For 2010 we're starting a new tradition of making the 26th day of each month a JLL "check-in" day. For these first two JLLDay check-in workouts: Meet at high Noon, rain or shine, at the Berkeley pedestrian I-80 bridge (map) Bring a bike if you have one (though not required).
