Virgin Sport Half Marathon and Fitness Fair
Rumors that Virgin Sport would postpone its inaugural, weekend-long Festival of Fitness—scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday—due to poor air quality in the city seem, for now, to be untrue. Passes are still available for event, which includes a half marathon, Twin Peaks one-mile challenge, and the Go Fit Yourself fair at Civic Center Plaza with top Bay Area instructors. // ClassPass stage classes are free, passes start at $29 for the Twin Peaks Mile. Info and tickets available at us.virginsport.com.
