Achilles International LA Region

The LA Chapter of Achilles International meets up on a monthly basis, on the first Sunday of each month at 10 AM, at Dorothy Green Park in Santa Monica (any exceptions to this will be emailed out to the larger group). At these monthly runs we match volunteers with athletes to assist them in running (or walking) along the beach bike path.  We will also enter various local races as a chapter and pair athletes with guides for races.  Lastly, in addition to our monthly meet ups and ad hoc races, we can pair you up with an athlete for you to meet one-on-one outside of our bigger group meet ups. If you're interested in that, please fill out the google doc in the "helpful links" section below:

Sunday Meet Up Location: 2701 Barnard Way, Santa Monica, CA 90405
-Meet by Lot 5 South in Santa Monica. Look for people with yellow Achilles shirts near the picnic tables in the grass area just south of Perry’s.  A map is below to illustrate our meet up point.

Parking:  There is a short term parking lot for $2 (read signs to enter "short term" lot instead of long term).  If that lot is full and you don't want to park in the long term lot right next to it, there is another $2 short term lot just north (closest address: 2410 Ocean Front Walk Santa Monica CA) and once you park it's about a 10 minute walk south to our meet up spot.
