The Los Feliz Flyers Running and Adventure Club was conceived in the fitting room of the Sport Shoe one Tuesday afternoon in 1984. Mike Bandoni, the owner of the store, had seen his store grow into a Mecca for runners seeking company for their runs on the trails of Griffith Park, and decided that he should organize them into a club. He asked King Rollins, who worked for him at the time, to become the first coach of the Sport Shoe Running Club and within a few months there were 20 or more regulars running from the store every Tuesday (read the complete history here).

Join the Los Feliz Flyers on a run and see if you like the feel of the club. The Flyers are accredited members of the Road Runners Club of America, USA Track & Field, and the International Association of Athletics Federations.
