About this event
Carb Loaders Monthly Run – Sunday, August 3 @ 9:00 AMStart your Sunday with carbs, community, and a scenic run!
We're heading back to the coast for our August edition! 🏃♂️☀️Check out our Strava route for the full course—we'll be cruising along the beach path before looping back to a true hidden gem: Rustic Coffee, a charming airstream café serving up top-tier smoothies, toasts, salads, pastries, and coffee. Right next door? A pop-up Mexican spot with tacos, quesadillas, and breakfast burritos. 🍳🌮 There’s something for everyone post-run!
Rustic Coffee has been rebuilding after recent fire-related challenges and PCH closures near the Palisades, so let’s show up and support this small business with big flavor.
👟 Expect a chill, social pace (this is not a race!) with plenty of good vibes, foodie photo ops, and a welcoming crew. Whether you're coming solo or bringing your running buds, this run is all about connection and community.

Frequently asked questions
Carb Loader runs are social, foodie-fueled fun runs designed to bring runners together for movement, connection, and (of course) carbs. We meet once a month at a new local café, bakery, or hidden gem in LA, usually somewhere with excellent pastries, burritos, or cookies. The runs are always casual
