Run Details
Let’s gather to join in on the fun driving to see the sights from a MINI perspective. We shall start from the Great Highway Parking lot in San Francisco and proceed to the 2nd meeting point at Safeway in South San Francisco. Travel on Highway 1 to see the coast line and Pacifica State Beach, Montara State Beach, and Moss Beach.

We will be driving through Daly City, Pacifica, Moss Beach, and Woodside. We will not be stopping for pictures at these locations. No lunch planned so you are on your own after the run. Plenty of great choices in Woodside to eat if you wish.


We will also be collecting money for two very special organizations.

Valley Humane Society and Hope Hospice of Pleasanton

The club will match the money raised the day of this run. Bring CASH as Simon will be collecting. 
Let's open our hearts and most of all our wallets and let's donate to these wonderful organizations. They both do amazing work. 

In addition check out both of their websites to see the amazing work they do.. and for those not attending the run you can donate from their web pages.

Please review our new NORCAL MINIS - COVID-19 GENERAL EVENT POLICY AND GUIDELINES

NorCal MINIs is committed to providing events that place participant safety as the number one priority. In light of the current COVID-19 situation, every attempt will be made to minimize risk of exposure to the virus. Therefore, the club is following new processes and procedures for events going forward.

NORCAL MINIS EVENTS WILL:
  • Be for paid members ONLY at this time
  • Not offer day passes whilst under restrictions
  • Follow state and local guidelines in relation to COVID-19
  • Require all participants to wear masks, for not only their own safety but for the safety of everyone on-site when not in your own car
  • Ask participants to stay at home if they are at higher risk for severe illness, or if they are sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath
  • Conduct drivers meeting in open air with face masks with social distancing and might be conducted via our radios on channel 7/21, if need be for everyone to hear
EVENT PROTOCOLS:

The following guidelines are our best attempt to secure your safety given what is known at this time. They are by no means comprehensive, and we cannot predict every circumstance. Therefore, we are counting on you to exercise your best judgment throughout the event. Please have an awareness and understanding of the following COVID-19 safety protocols:
  • NorCal MINIS asks that anyone who is at higher risk for severe illness, feeling unwell, or who has been in contact with anyone that is sick in the last two weeks to STAY HOME
  • ALL participants are required to wear cloth face coverings or masks when outside their car
  • NorCal MINIs will encourage everyone to wash hands regularly (with soap and water for at least 20 seconds), especially after using the restroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
  • NorCal Minis will NOT share Club Radios during this time; we suggest purchasing your own radios and can provide you with recommendations on compatible makes/models
  • Physical contact is discouraged. Please refrain from shaking hands, high-fives and hugs, except with family or those you have been quarantined with
  • Participants are required to bring their own personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant. NorCal MINIs will NOT have any PPE items available
  • Participants will be required to Sign Waivers Electronically
  • Be cautious when sharing/posting event photos. Even photos of groups maintaining proper social distancing can be mistaken for an inappropriate gathering.
  • If necessary, remind each other gently and respectfully to observe these guidelines

Anyone who continually or willfully violates these guidelines will be asked to leave by a club officer or director.

POST-EVENT PROTOCOLS:

  • Any participant that falls ill within 2 weeks after the event MUST contact NorCal MINIs and share a description of their symptoms, related test results and movements during the event
  • NorCal MINIs will make every effort to alert affected participants privately of the situation

Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risk to you and make a responsible decision on whether or not to participate. You assume all risks and agree the Club holds no liability if you or anyone in your party should develop any Covid-19 symptoms afterwards by attending a NorCal MINIs event. Participants are required to follow these guidelines; any participant may be asked to leave the event for non-compliance.

The Giving Season!

During a recent run we collected donations for Hope Hospice of Pleasanton. The club added to an amazing grand total of $1700.00 to a wonderful organization. In addition some of the money was used to purchase 20 robotic cats as you can see in the picture along with our President Simon Tildesley and his wife Nikki. The cats are to be used for dementia patients via Hope. The aim is to decrease social isolation during Covid-19 when Hope's volunteers and pet therapists are able to visit in person.Studies show robotic pets lower levels of depression and agitation. They help and comfort these patients. They can also reduce the need for medications. 

Check out their website for more information.
