1. 626 Golden Streets is a free event! However at least a few dollars will offer you SGV treats and support local businesses along the route.

2. You get to decide where you start and finish. There is no right or wrong way to experience the event. 

3. All forms of active transportation are permitted, including walking, biking, skating, jogging, ambling, and strolling. E-assist wheelchairs, bicycles, skateboards, etc. are also permitted, however all event participants (whether on standard or e-assist devices) shall ride in a safe and courteous manner, yielding to slower moving persons.
