EL LAY, ALL DAY ✌️
Originally published in 1995, “LA Fingers” was one of many iconic images taken by @estevanoriol that truly captured what Los Angeles was really like. For a change, it wasn’t just about the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but the raw culture in neighborhoods further east and south.
This is why we had to take a field trip to Echo Park to run and visit this recent piece by @snakeoilsigns . A hand painted of that famous “LA Fingers” photo, stands tall along a corner of Historic Filipinotown.
Any chance we get to rep the city, bet we’ll be there ✅

LA, your Saturday morning plans have been upgraded. 🌴☀️
Rooted & Rising Volume 3 comes to Elysian Park on May 23 | Theme: Radical Acceptance.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that taking care of yourself is not selfish. It's necessary. Come do it with us.
This is a morning experience built around one idea: moving together feels better than moving alone. Run if you want to run. Walk if you want to walk. Show up however you show up and we'll meet you there.
Here's who's holding it down:
🏃🏽 Erik Valiente + BlacklistLA: As founder and Head Coach of BlacklistLA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Erik spent over 20 years proving that movement is for everyone. Erik made running cool, and now he's bringing that energy to WFTP. Alongside Erik, he will be joined by Kathia Ortiz, Jose Garcia Jr & Jason Teng.
🌬 Paula Duran will support you land with Breathwork + Centering After the run.
🔔 Natalie Valle will take you through a Sound Bath + Recovery Movement Natalie to help your body restore and recover.
🎶 DJ Priscilla Like Presley Vibes from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
Plus recovery snacks, hydration by our partners, surprises, and a community circle to bring it all home. 🍄
Bring your crew. Your cousin who runs. Your friend who says they hate running. Your partner who needs a reason to get off the couch on a Saturday. This morning was built for all of you.
📍 Elysian Park, Los Angeles 🗓 Saturday, May 23 ⏰ 8:00 — 11:00 AM 🎟 Free — RSVP link in bio
Spots are limited. RSVP is almost full. 🖤 Tag someone who needs a Saturday morning like this. ⬇️

GET LIFTED 🙌🏽
Posted under the still under construction park beneath the Sixth Street Viaduct, this mural by @lokzangeles_ is unapologetically giving all the west coast vibes while spreading positivity.
“Lifting Our Kulture” is the message displayed across the wide piece surrounded by floral, lowrider, and ripple elements, all colored in blue. The other side of the mural (not pictured) features the Downtown LA skyline, as seen from the Sixth Street Bridge.
We’ll be sure to return to this mural once the park officially opens. Hope to see you there 🧢

Metro Run 🚇☀️🌴
We hopped on the new D Line extension, taking the train from Wilshire & La Cienega to Union Station and running back mostly along Wilshire through the heart of the city. A perfect way to wake up, get some miles in, and watch Los Angeles come to life.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on this little field trip to welcome the new extension here in LA.

This weekend we’re switching things up and taking the Metro as a team. We’ll meet at the Wilshire / La Cienega D Line station, ride the new Metro extension to Union Station in DTLA, and run back west through the city.
Approx. 9 miles mostly along Wilshire Blvd. Easy pace, good vibes, and a chance to experience LA a little different with the community.
Pull up.
