Welcome to the Thaipusam Walk 2025 organized by the Concord Shiva Murugan Temple.
Thaipusam is a festival dedicated to Lord Murugan who is believed to possess the invincible spear (Vel). On Thaipusam day, Goddess Parvathi gave Lord Murugan the Vel and he used it to destroy the army of demons. This festival signifies the victory of good over evil.
The Concord Shiva Murugan Temple is organizing a walk to the temple along two popular Bay Area trails to celebrate Thaipusam. The first is a longer 21 miles walk route starting from Bishop Ranch 3, San Ramon, CA. The second is a shorter 7 miles walk route starting from Heather Farms Park, Walnut Creek, CA.
Registration is required to participate in the temple walk scheduled on February 8, 2025.
Review this Waiver Form before registering for the walk. You agree to the terms and conditions listed in the waiver by registering and participating in the walk.
The Temple Walk Organizing team will find a way to accommodate anyone serious about walking to the Temple. Please register only if you are sure about walking. This will allow the organizers to plan better.
If your plans have changed and you need to cancel, we encourage you to do so. This will allow someone else on the waitlist to take advantage of the open spot instead.
Organizing an event like this requires a lot of volunteers from the community. Consider signing up for various volunteer activities.
