Running in Culver City

The Ballona Creek Trail is the primary running route — roughly 6 miles one way from the National Blvd trailhead to the ocean, entirely flat and traffic-free. It is perfect for long runs, interval training, or easy out-and-back efforts. The Culver City Stairs, also known as the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook stairs, offer a brutal 282-step climb to one of the best viewpoints in LA — a popular cross-training spot for local runners. Downtown Culver City along Washington Blvd provides an urban loop option with cafes and restaurants for post-run meetups, and Veterans Park and Woodbine Park in neighboring Palms anchor several weekly group runs. The neighborhood's arts district around Hayden Avenue and Jefferson Blvd has wide, quiet streets that work well for early morning tempo runs. The Expo Line Metro station makes the area easy to reach without a car.
