Highland Park Runners was founded in July 2015 to serve the Highland Park and northeast Los Angeles community. 

Highland Park Runners, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, is committed to inspiring its community to lead healthier and active lifestyles through movement. We believe the pursuit of every goal begins with a single step, and that we achieve becoming our best selves when we take that step in community.

FOUNDERS

HLPR was founded by Chris Ramirez and Clayton Rosa. Chris and Clayton connected through their love of running and for how movement transformed their lives. Both share a deep belief that every journey begins with a single step, and that it doesn't matter how fast or slow we go, what matters is that we remain committed to taking a step forward.
