LARR FAQS

How much does it cost to join LARR?

LARR is currently $100 plus fees. This price will increase in July.

Can I preview LARR?

Yes! LARR will host online orientation. You can visit LARR at any time during the season to see if it's right for you.  

  • September 17 at 6:30pm - online orientation. Join us to hear about the program, training season, and to ask questions. Session will be recorded.
  • September 19 - kick off and preview in Santa Monica and Griffith Park. Meet the Pace Leaders, go on a short run/walk, get familiar with the location and ask questions.
  • September 20 - kick off and preview in Balboa Park, Encino. Meet the Pace Leaders, go on a short run/walk, get familiar with the location and ask questions.

Program officially kicks off September 19/20 but you can join at any time during the season!

 

Do you have walkers and run/walkers?

LARR welcomes runners, walkers, and run/walkers at all locations.

We have pace groups for faster and slower participants; beginners and seasoned marathoners. Pace groups range from a goal finish time of 3 hours to 6:30+ hours. It is easy to switch between pace groups at any time in the season if you want to.

Can I join any time?

Yes! 

The Group Training program will accept new members until race weekend, though please note that some benefits are time sensitive – such as access to corral B. The sooner you sign up, the more you will get out of your membership.

Where can I pick up my LARR shirt?

LARR Shirts are provided by ASICS and will be available for our Group Training members to pick up throughout the season. We will post info in our newsletter about pick up options at select events such training runs/walks, races, and special meet ups. Please note that sizes are available while supplies last.

Sorry, we do not mail shirts, but you can arrange for a friend to pick up your shirt.

Is there an age limit for LARR?

Participants must be 16 years or older to register for LA Road Runners.

Can I try out a workout before registering?

Yes, we welcome visitors to check out LARR before joining. Feel free to email larr@mccourtfoundation.org if you have any questions

How will I know which pace group I'm in?

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.

Is an LARR membership refundable?

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.

Does my LARR membership include entry to the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon or Rose Bowl Half Marathon?

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.

Have a question not answered here?

Please fill out this form and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
