This meet up is all about exploring Los Angeles on foot.  There are so many interesting parts of Los Angeles that you never notice as you drive by it in your car.  By getting out and exploring the city, we'll discover new things we didn't know existed.  We'll try to keep most hikes between 4-7 miles to make sure we have time to complete the hike and have time to explore during the hike. What is Urban Hiking? An urban hike gives us the chance to explore the terrain we live in, to contemplate how …

We meet up in groups of 10 or less to stretch and warm up. Then we run together in a flow and flock style along the routes …
