From the Organizer
Babes of Wellness is a Los Angeles–based wellness studio rooted in movement, community, and health. What began as a space for women and femmes to show up as they are has grown into a citywide collective for inclusive fitness experiences that honor both the body and the land we move through—a practice as old as the trails themselves. Babes of Wellness believes that movement is not about performance, it's about connection, consistency, and reclaiming wellness as something communal and accessible.
Park to Playa reflects that ethos. This 10K is more than a race, it's a shared journey across Los Angeles, inviting runners to experience the city through breath, rhythm, and collective momentum. By bringing people together on the trail, Babes of Wellness creates space to move with intention, celebrate the cultural heritage of this land, and remind us that running, like wellness itself, is powerful and meant to be shared.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
