About

Welcome! The L.A. Leggers is a running and walking club that promotes health, fitness and personal fulfillment through a long-distance walking and running program in a supportive and motivational environment. We meet regularly on Saturday mornings in Santa Monica during our training season (August to March), rain or shine. 

All Levels Welcome

We train runners and walkers to complete their first marathon or half marathon. Our pace groups range from a 7.5 minute/mile to a 17 minute/mile. We provide you with a training guide, training schedules, speaker programs, and experienced mentors to guide you successfully through your first (or 40th!) long-distance event.

How To Join

Registration opens in early summer and our training starts in August. We prepare you for the LA Marathon in March as well as a target half marathon in the fall.

If you would like to receive notification of when registration opens, send an email to info@laleggers.org, and we will add you to our mailing list.

Off Season

The Leggers are currently in the off season, but many pace groups continue to meet at the Senior Center every Saturday morning for “fun runs”. If you are interested, just come to the information desk at the Senior Center before 7:00 a.m., and let the board member on duty know you are new and want to connect with a pace group that morning.

THE SENIOR CENTER IS OPEN TO THE L.A.LEGGERS EVERY SATURDAY FROM 6.30AM - 9.30AM
1450 OCEAN AVE., SANTA MONICA, CA 90401 (CROSS STREET: BROADWAY)
