Angels City Run Club
Los Angeles, California
Angels City Run Club is a community-powered running club in Los Angeles with regular Wednesday evening and Friday morning runs. Wednesday runs meet at Angels Flight Railway in downtown Los Angeles at 7 p.m., while Friday runs depart from a Starbucks in Culver City at 6:30 a.m.
About This Club
Angels City Run Club runs twice a week out of two different parts of Los Angeles: Wednesday evenings at Angels Flight Railway in downtown LA, and Friday mornings out of a Starbucks in Culver City.
It is a free, community-driven club that covers both road and trail, so the routes are not just laps around a parking lot. If you are based in or near downtown or Culver City, the locations alone make this worth a look.
Who It Suits
If you can run somewhere in the 5:00 to 7:30 min/km range and you want a regular midweek or early-Friday-morning run with other people, this is built for you. The mixed road and trail terrain suits someone who does not mind a little variety underfoot. If you need a pace slower than 7:30 min/km to feel comfortable, or you want a club with a single consistent starting location, this setup may not be the right match.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Wednesday nights cover about 11.3 km starting at 7 p.m., while Friday mornings are shorter at about 6.4 km, departing at 6:30 a.m. Both runs share the same pace range, 5:00 to 7:30 minutes per kilometer, which is a wide enough window to accommodate runners at different levels on any given day.
The terrain mixes road and trail, so expect varied ground rather than a single flat surface. Friday runs often finish with coffee, which is a practical reason to stick around after.

Your First Run
Show up to Angels Flight Railway on a Wednesday at 7 p.m., or to the Culver City Starbucks on a Friday at 6:30 a.m. - arriving a few minutes early gives you a chance to figure out where people are gathering before the group takes off.
It is free to show up and there is nothing to sign up for in advance. The pace range they run is broad, 5:00 to 7:30 min/km, so you are not going to be the only person who is not racing. Turning up solo is normal for a club like this; most people there did exactly that at some point.

Common Questions About Angels City Run Club
Does it cost anything to run with Angels City Run Club?
No, it is free. There is no membership fee and they do not say you need to sign up ahead of time.
How far do they actually run? I do not want to commit to something huge.
Friday mornings are about 6.4 km, which is a manageable distance for most people. Wednesday evenings are longer at about 11.3 km. If the Wednesday distance feels like a stretch, the Friday run is the lower-stakes option to start with.
What is the pace like? I am worried I will hold the group up.
They run between 5:00 and 7:30 minutes per kilometer on both days. That is a genuinely wide range, so there is room for runners who are not at peak fitness. That said, if you are regularly running slower than 7:30 min/km, check their social channels before showing up to see how the group typically splits.
Do they run on trails or roads?
Both. The club mixes road and trail, so the surface changes depending on the route. Wearing a shoe with reasonable grip is smarter than a pure road flat.
What happens after the Friday run?
Friday runs often end with coffee. Since they depart from a Starbucks in Culver City, staying for a drink after is easy if you have time before your day starts.
Where this comes from: Club details come from each club’s own channels (their site, Meetup, Strava and social posts) and are checked by hand. Group runs move, so confirm the meeting spot on the club’s latest post before you head out. Last updated July 2026.
