About
We are a California nonprofit 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.
The Trail Runners Club, founded in 1988, meets every Sunday morning to run one of many courses throughout the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains, sometimes also in the San Gabriel mountains and other areas in Southern California away from the noise, smells and dangers of urban Los Angeles, mileage usually somewhere between 10 & 15 miles but with the option to go shorter or longer. We run only on single track trails and fire roads. Having more than 100 courses mapped out we run every week somewhere else, starting at different trail heads.
While we are a non competitive running club, we do promote physical well-being and friendships through running. We have members from all walks of life and at every skill level. Some members who never run a race while some race regularly, from a short 5k to a marathon to Ultra races.
Most of our runs are marked so you don't have to worry about getting lost! We also provide the course on Strava.
