Cafe Jam Run Club began in Sherman Oaks in 2017 when a new mother refused to let postpartum life slow her down. What started as short runs with family and friends has blossomed into a thriving community of more than 50 runners spanning every age and background. The crew stands on three pillars: wellness, inclusion, and showing up. At Cafe Jam Run Club, every pace is celebrated, every age is honored, and every background belongs. From postpartum moms to teenagers, the energy remains warm, encouraging, and rooted in real life. Nobody gets left behind. Monday evenings at the Los Angeles Guesthouse host recovery, tempo, and training runs, while weekends open up for longer routes, marathon prep, and brand collaborations that keep the crew energized and connected.
