About This Club
Latinos Run LA is the Los Angeles chapter of Latinos Run, a national organization built around uplifting the Latino community through fitness and representation. They meet every Wednesday evening at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall, and the whole thing, the run at least, is free to show up to. If you have been looking for a group that reflects your community on the start line, this is built with that specifically in mind.
Who It Suits
This group is specifically oriented around the Latino community, so if that sense of shared identity and representation matters to you in a running space, you will feel that here. It is also genuinely beginner-friendly, with a walk option built into every single week, so you do not need a running background to show up on Wednesday. If you are looking for a pace-focused training group chasing PRs, this is probably not your Wednesday.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Every Wednesday starts with a HIIT class at 6:20pm, donation-based if you want to contribute, then the group goes into either a 5K run or a 2-mile walk. They say the terrain includes inclines, so expect some real hills rather than a flat loop. Having both a run and a walk option every single week means you are not choosing between keeping up and showing up.

TerrainInclines
Your First Run
Head to Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall and find the old Walmart main entrance on the ground level, near the LAPD station entrance. That is your landmark. You do not need to register ahead of time or pay anything to run with them.
If you are nervous about pace, the fact that walkers are genuinely welcome every week, not as an afterthought, means nobody is going to make you feel like you are holding the group back by taking the 2-mile walk option while you get a feel for things.

Common Questions About Latinos Run LA
Do I have to pay to join or run with them?
The run itself is free. The HIIT class beforehand is donation-based, so give what you can or want to.
Can I just walk instead of run?
Yes, every Wednesday includes a 2-mile walk option alongside the 5K run. It is not a modified accommodation, it is just part of how they run the night.
Where exactly do I meet them at the mall?
Look for the old Walmart main entrance on the ground level, near the LAPD station entrance. That is the meeting spot.
Do they do anything beyond the weekly Wednesday run?
Yes, they host virtual 5K events tied to specific dates throughout the year, including National Latina Day in August, Miles for Mental Health in May, Hispanic Heritage Month in the fall, Dia De Los Muertos, and a Justice Run. Check their own channels for when those open up.
Is this only for people who already identify as Latino?
They describe themselves as a community uplifting the Latino population through fitness and representation, so that is the heart of what they are building. If that mission resonates with you, Wednesday at 6:20pm is where you show up.
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.
