a runners circle (arc) is a running store located in Los Feliz, right next to Griffith Park. We support local running clubs that give back to the community as well as training organizations that help raise funds for a variety of causes. When we opened up the store in 2007, we’ve always supported the local runners and regular users of a park that is filled with nature’s treasures. As a specialty running store staffed with runners who are regular users of a park, we are fortunate to be very close to the largest urban park in the Country that cover  4,218 acres of trails and provide superb views of Downtown Los Angeles, Burbank and Glendale. Griffith park is filled with many runners of different athletic ability, style and training regimen. One of the favorite routes for the local runners is the world famous Hollywood Sign — a symbol for ambition, glamour, and the American dream. You’ll see us on the weekends supporting runners by assembling hydration station stops to hand out protein drinks and cold water. arc has been supportive and encourage in preservation of the park for future generations of runners and other outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy the simplicity and beauty of one of the last natural preserves for wildlife and fauna in Los Angeles County.
