Trail Etiquette and Safety

San Jose Fit is a large group and we share the Los Gatos Creek trail and Rancho San Antonio with walkers, cyclists and local residents. Please be mindful of our impact and follow proper trail etiquette

Key reminders:

• Single file when passing or being passed
• Never more than two abreast
• Always call out:
  “Runner/walker back” – runner/walker is passing you on the left
  “Bike back” – bike is passing you
  “Runner/walker up” – runner/walker is coming towards you
  “Bike up” – bike is coming towards you
• Pass only when safe and visible, “passing on your left”
• Move as far right as possible and go single file when being passed
• Always say “Good Morning, thank you” when you pass someone
• Whenever you hear someone call something out, that ALWAYS means to go single file and move to the right.
• Make sure to pass the information to the rest of your group, not everyone in a large group will hear the message from the front or back.
• Be quiet passing homes early mornings
• There may be folks that are annoyed by a large group. Always be polite — never engage negatively
