YOU ARE WALKING ON YOUR OWN ACCORD. THE GREAT LOS ANGELES WALK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU OR YOUR ACTIONS ON THE WALK. BE SAFE AND BE SMART! ABOUT THE GREAT LOS ANGELES WALK L.A. journalist and blogger Michael Schneider launched the Great Los Angeles Walk in 2006 as a way to celebrate his tenth year in Los Angeles. Inspired by the book “Wilshire Boulevard,” by Kevin Roderick, he decided to walk the street’s entire length. In 2007, for an encore, he chose another downtown-to-the-ocean route: Pico Boulevard, followed by Santa Monica Blvd. in 2008. In 2009, the event kicked off in the historic West Adams district and walked to Venice Beach via Adams and Washington. In 2010, for its fifth edition, the Great Los Angeles Walk reprised its original Wilshire journey. In 2011, participants marched to the ocean via Hollywood Boulevard; then came Melrose Avenue (2012), Sunset Boulevard (2013), Ventura Boulevard (2014), Olympic Boulevard (2015), a return to Pico (2016), and Beverly Boulevard (2017).
