Coach will help place you in a pace group when you begin attending trainings - it helps to know a recent race result or your "easy pace" but don't worry if you don't. We'll get you into the right group - and it's easy to move to a different group later in the season if you need to.
There are no refunds or transfers for a LA Road Runners membership for any reason including an event cancellation, an event conducted at a shorter distance or as a virtual event, or the event being rescheduled.
LARR memberships do NOT include entry to the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon or Rose Bowl Half Marathon (or any TMF races). You will need to register separately.
Please fill out this form and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
