Blacklist LA
About Blacklist LA
A nonprofit run organization fusing urban art and running. Founded in 2013, Blacklist LA is famous for its Monday night “Art Runs,” ~3–4 mile community runs that explore Los Angeles murals and street art. Hundreds of runners (all paces) gather weekly at 9 PM to run through different neighborhoods – the group stops at a featured mural, where run leaders share info about the artwork before a big group photo. Beyond Art Runs, Blacklist hosts Wednesday track workouts, Friday morning “Morning Miles,” and Sunday coffee runs, engaging over 10,000 Angelenos annually. The vibe is inclusive and lively – they literally run with speakers to create a moving party, and everyone is invited. It’s free to join and all about community and city pride.

What to Expect
A “party run” through the city – expect loud music, fun route surprises, art appreciation, and an enthusiastic crowd. Volunteers (“pacers”) ensure a safe, welcoming experience. Post-run group pics and hanging out at the mural are tradition.
