LA Run Clerb
Welcome to Hike Clerb Run Clerb!
This summer, we’re inviting our community into the joy of trail running.
Powered by Altra running and rooted in care, this beginner-centered program is designed for those curious to build a new relationship with movement, nature, and themselves -- all within supportive community.
Together, we’ll explore local trails, build confidence on varied terrain, learn foundational trail running practices, and redefine what endurance, joy, and connection can look like outdoors.
Our first meeting will be a 2-mile loop on the wide, flat trails of Malibu Creek State Park. This event is for registered participants only.
This experience centers BIPOC health and well-being.
TRAIL DETAILS:
Length - ~2 miles
Elevation gain - 82 feet
Route type - Loop
Run time - 1 hour

If you want to download the route in advance, you can download it here on All Trails (plus membership required) or here on Strava. Neither is required as we will have pacers and will be staying in eyesight of each other. This is a no-drop run! There are no dogs allowed on these trails.
This trail is alongside a creek and at a location with a swimming hole, if you want to swim or dip afterward, bring a change of clothes so you can return home dry!
