Next: Tuesday 7:00PM

Marina del Rey Run Club meets every Tuesday at 7 PM at Burton Chace Park for a free 3-mile social run or walk around the marina, followed by tacos at Kalaveras. It is relaxed, every pace, and a good first run club if you live near the water.

Next: Wednesday 6:30PM

RunMDR runs out of The Starting Line (MDR Sports) on Washington Boulevard in Marina del Rey every Wednesday evening, with routes through the Venice canals and along the beach at several distances. The weekly community run is free; a paid membership adds coached training.

Next: Thursday 6:30PM

Playa West is a casual neighborhood run club started in 2024 that meets on Thursday evenings at Playa Provisions in Playa del Rey, runs the beach and the Ballona Creek path, then heads back for a drink. Free, friendly and small enough that you will be recognized on your second visit.

Next: Saturday 8:00AM

Hermanos Wellness Club is a Latino men's mental-health community that runs and walks together on Saturday mornings in Playa del Rey, with the exact meeting spot posted each week. Beyond the run the group hosts hikes, jiu jitsu and carne asada nights; everyone is welcome at the Saturday run.

Founded in 2002, LA Running Club began as an off-season training group for LA Marathon pace leaders and has since grown into a year-round running community in Santa Monica. LARC offers multiple weekly runs and walking meetups for all levels, including weekday sessions, a weekly coached track workout on Wednesdays, and their well-known Saturday meetup at the Totem Pole (March–September). Certified coaches lead structured workouts, provide training advice, and support runners and walkers of every ability. The club is community-driven and open to everyone — no membership required to join runs. Members receive added perks such as a technical shirt, race discounts, and access to special giveaways. Whether you’re training for a race or just looking for a supportive group to stay consistent, LARC provides coaching, community, and a welcoming environment year-round.
