Koreatown Run Club Building Community One Mile at a Time in Los Angeles
Koreatown Run Club started in 2017 when its founder returned from Haiti with a vision. A work trip had shown him the transformative power of running for community, and back in Los Angeles, he and Michael decided to build something similar in Koreatown. What began as a mission to connect people through running has grown into a movement of around 400 members spanning diverse backgrounds across the city. The club's philosophy is simple yet profound: running is a vehicle for real connection. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, members gather at Wilshire and Oxford, with track sessions at LACC and Saturday morning runs rounding out the week. At Koreatown Run Club, every session is open and every pace is welcome, proving that the most meaningful friendships are the ones built on shared streets and shared commitment.
