RUN FOR THE HEALTH OF IT

BlacklistLA started in 2013 with a simple idea: bring people together in Los Angeles through running, art, and community. It’s now the city’s biggest group of its kind, giving folks a fun and safe way to see LA from a new angle. Their weekly events—like the huge Monday night art run, the Metro Run that uses public transit, and long runs on weekends—are all about exploring the city, meeting new people, and feeling proud of where you live.

Founded in April 2017 by Mike and Duy, the Koreatown Run Club has grown into a vibrant community of around 400 runners in Los Angeles. Rooted in Koreatown’s rich cultural landscape, the club embraces inclusivity and connection across all skill levels and backgrounds. Their regular runs through iconic neighborhood streets and parks offer more than just exercise—they foster friendships and celebrate cultural heritage. Meeting three times weekly near Oxford and Wilshire, the group welcomes everyone from beginners to seasoned marathoners, with training sessions and social events that strengthen bonds beyond the pavement. The club’s spirit reflects Los Angeles’s diversity and energy, blending urban exploration with shared experiences. Committed to community engagement, Koreatown Run Club participates in local races and charity events, supporting causes like the Koreatown Youth and Community Center.
