New Member Orientation
Completing a marathon or half-marathon is a life-changing event and getting there can be daunting. We offer a new member orientation at the beginning of each season (typically late July/early August).
Sessions take place at Tongva Park in the ampitheater in Santa Monica.
Dress to run or walk a mile, and make sure you bring water. You’ll get a chance to:
- Learn about the L.A. LEGGERS and how our training program works.
- Complete a trial mile and get guidance on which pace group works best for you.
- Meet your pace-group mentors.
If you are a walker, you’ll also get an overview of how the L.A. LEGGERS program works for walkers.
We strongly encourage new and returning members to attend. Before you come, read these guidelines: How to Pick the Right Pace Group.
