Babes of Wellness is a Los Angeles–based wellness studio rooted in movement, community, and health. What began as a space for women and femmes to show up as they are has grown into a citywide collective for inclusive fitness experiences that honor both the body and the land we move through—a practice as old as the trails themselves. Babes of Wellness believes that movement is not about performance, it's about connection, consistency, and reclaiming wellness as something communal and accessible.
Park to Playa reflects that ethos. This 10K is more than a race, it's a shared journey across Los Angeles, inviting runners to experience the city through breath, rhythm, and collective momentum. By bringing people together on the trail, Babes of Wellness creates space to move with intention, celebrate the cultural heritage of this land, and remind us that running, like wellness itself, is powerful and meant to be shared.
Koreatown Run Club started in 2017 when its founder returned from Haiti with a vision. A work trip had shown him the transformative power of running for community, and back in Los Angeles, he and Michael decided to build something similar in Koreatown. What began as a mission to connect people through running has grown into a movement of around 400 members spanning diverse backgrounds across the city. The club's philosophy is simple yet profound: running is a vehicle for real connection. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, members gather at Wilshire and Oxford, with track sessions at LACC and Saturday morning runs rounding out the week. At Koreatown Run Club, every session is open and every pace is welcome, proving that the most meaningful friendships are the ones built on shared streets and shared commitment.
In 2013, David Gómez and Elisa García asked a question that split the Los Angeles running scene: why did running clubs thrive only in wealthier neighborhoods? From their roots in Boyle Heights, East LA, they started the Boyle Heights Bridge Runners with one mission: create a space that belongs to their community. Every Wednesday night, runners gather at Mariachi Plaza and set out across the bridges that link their neighborhood to downtown, a route that has become iconic. What began as a small group has grown into a beacon for the city, drawing mechanics, teachers, artists, and activists into something deeper than miles. The crew stands for unity and inclusivity, proving that running can bridge not just geography but divides. Today, BHBR reminds LA that every neighborhood deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated on the streets.
Blacklist LA started in 2013 with a radical idea: running could rewire how Los Angeles connects with itself. Founded on the belief that the city's sprawl is not a barrier but a canvas, the crew has grown to over 300 runners who show up Monday nights at 10pm without hesitation. Their philosophy is straightforward, running is a vehicle for community and cultural discovery. Every Monday night, they gather at Walt Disney Concert Hall and hit the streets toward the city's street art, turning late-night Los Angeles into a living gallery. Art, transit, and open roads are all fair game. For Blacklist LA, civic pride runs as deep as the miles.
