Skid Row Running Club

Skid Row Running Club is a powerful community initiative based at The Midnight Mission in Downtown Los Angeles. Meeting every Monday and Thursday morning at 6 a.m., the group brings together runners who use physical activity as a pathway to recovery, personal growth, and long-term change. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the club supports individuals overcoming addiction, homelessness, and other life challenges by building discipline, confidence, and connection through running. What starts as a morning run quickly becomes something deeper - a supportive community where members encourage each other to stay committed to recovery, improve their health, and rediscover purpose through movement.
