About This Club
LA Craft Runners is a free, all-paces running club that meets every Tuesday at 7 pm at a rotating craft brewery or brewpub somewhere in Los Angeles. The model is simple: run a few miles through the city, then hang out at the host brewery after. If you care about both getting some miles in and actually trying the beer at wherever you end up, this was built for you.
Who It Suits
This works well if you want a low-stakes Tuesday run where the social part is just as real as the running part, and especially if you like rotating through LA's craft brewery scene. If you are training for a race and need a specific pace group, a long run, or a structured workout, this is probably not your Tuesday night.

What a Run With Them Is Like
You are running on city streets and urban routes - expect sidewalks and neighborhood blocks rather than trails or tracks. They describe the distances as a few miles, so this is not a long-run situation; it is enough to earn a pint without wrecking your Tuesday night. Pace is open to everyone, so the group is not going to leave you behind if you are not fast.

Your First Run
Because the location rotates every week, check where they are meeting before you head out - showing up at the wrong brewery is a real risk if you go off old information. When you get there, you are just finding the group at the host venue at 7 pm.
Coming alone is normal here; the post-run social at the brewery is specifically where people actually talk, and that built-in reason to hang around takes a lot of the awkward out of showing up by yourself. There is no membership, no signup, and no cost - just show up.

Common Questions About LA Craft Runners
Do I need to sign up or pay anything?
No membership, no registration, no cost. It is free and you can just show up.
How do I know where they are meeting each week?
The location rotates across LA breweries, so check their current schedule before Tuesday - going off an old address will get you stranded.
What if I am a slow runner or have not run in a while?
They say the club is open to all paces, and the distances are only a few miles. You are not going to be the problem here.
Do I have to drink beer after?
The post-run social at the brewery is part of the format, but nothing about joining the run requires you to order anything.
Do they run in bad weather?
They do not say either way, so if a stormy Tuesday comes up, check their social pages before you head out.
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.
