If you want to start out with some easy running, Jack Quinn’s pub downtown on Tejon has its own well established running club. They meet on Tuesdays at 6pm and run a flat 3 mile loop. There’s food provided afterwards, as well as discount beer. They literally get thousands of people running, so there’s always someone to run your pace.
