Greenway BicycleFairgoers who join the fun at Fun Fest will receive a FREE pedometer as we walk together around the planet.  Strap on your pedometer before leaving Fun Fest and track the steps you take while at the Fair.  Then stop back at the end of your day to show us the number of steps taken at the Fair and be entered in a raffle for great prizes.  First prize is a BREEZER GREENWAY bike – perfect whether you’re a bicycle commuter or taking to the open road.

In 2007 more than 6,000,000 steps were tracked as fairgoers danced, hula hooped, jumped and skipped while agencies shared incredible information about the incredible work being done in Marin.

Through the strength of individuals and agencies working and playing together, we are truly impacting the health of Marin County. Our work at the Fair has become a model for other fairs and festivals, both in Marin and across the nation – creating an environment where people have fun being healthy.
