The Los Angeles running community is vibrant and diverse, just like our city! It is made up of people of all ages, fitness levels, backgrounds, abilities, motivations, and goals who have found a common connection in health and fitness.

At the heart of this community is our run clubs, those groups that gather throughout the week in different neighborhoods to train, socialize, and support each other. Club coaches and leadership put care and time into organizing and planning routes, keeping members connected, networking with local businesses, developing training plans, and encouraging people to participate in running events like ours.

To better support our running community, clubs are invited to sign up for our Run Club Partnership program and be listed on our website! To be considered, clubs must be willing to share information about The McCourt Foundation (TMF) events with their members, primarily run/walk focused (triathlon teams are welcome too), open to the general public (can be for a fee or free),and should meet in Los Angeles County or neighboring Southern California counties.

In addition, clubs with multiple members signed up for TMF events can take advantage of benefits to enhance their race day experience and community outreach. Below are the benefits for those clubs with over 10 members signed up for at least one TMF event (Santa Monica Classic, Rose Bowl Half & 5K, LA Big 5K, Charity Half Marathon, and the Los Angeles Marathon presented by ASICS).
