About Us

Who we are!

The Santa Monica Mountain Goats were founded in 1982 and we are one of the oldest trail running groups in Southern California. We are an environment-friendly, non-profit, non-dues running group whose purpose is to enjoy the beauty of the Santa Monica Mountains. We meet on a different trail every Saturday at 7:15 am every Saturday during our season.

We run/jog/walk for time, not distance. Everyone goes out at their own pace for 60 minutes (more or less), then we all turn and come back. This way, the faster people and the slower people all finish at the same time & place. Nobody is too slow or too fast to participate!

Enjoy nature, make new friends, and, above all have fun!
