LA Road Runners (LARR): West Los Angeles, CA
Pasadena Pacers: Pasadena, CA
BlacklistLA: Los Angeles, CA
A Running Experience Club (AREC): Long Beach, CA

“Running has always fostered community,” stated Murphy Reinschreiber, Chief Operating Officer of Conqur Endurance Group. “The LA Road Runners program was built on the idea that we can accomplish more when we are united. This expansion is the first step in uniting the Greater Los Angeles running community to create incredible positive change.”
Along with the physical expansion of the program, LA Road Runners will dedicate resources to create and support community running events with the vision of growing interest, passion and running participation throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.
