Alex Toussaint Led 5K Run at NBA All-Star Weekend… and One Member Shares Her Experience

The Alex Toussaint 5K Run brought Peloton’s star instructor to the forefront of the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, where he energized participants with his signature motivational style. Held on February 14, 2026, at The WalkGood Yard, the event highlighted AT’s dedication to fitness and community engagement. Known for his dynamic coaching, Alex has a history with the NBA All-Star Weekend, including being a two-time participant in the Ruffles® NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and a former MVP. This year, he celebrated his 10-year milestone with Peloton by leading this special 5K run.

Event Highlights

The Alex Toussaint 5K Run kicked off with a pre-run huddle featuring opening remarks and introductions of special guests, including NBA legends Dominique Wilkins and Robert Horry. The run itself was followed by an All-Star Afterparty at The WalkGood Yard, complete with a live DJ, refreshments, and swag bags for participants. The location for the event is a creative wellness studio and community space in Los Angeles. Known for its inclusive and vibrant atmosphere, it serves as a hub for yoga, fitness classes, creative workshops, and cultural events. Its connection to WalkGood LA, a nonprofit focused on equitable healing spaces, adds a unique layer of community significance to the venue.

 

An Insider Peek at the Event

Peloton member #MichelleB shared her experience at the Alex Toussaint 5K Run

“On Saturday, February 14th I attended the Peloton x NBA All-Star Game event celebrating Alex Toussaint’s 10 year Pelo-versary.  The Walk Good Yard is a really cool yoga & wellness studio that is a non-profit bringing wellness classes and events to underserved communities located in the Mid-City area.

It began with Alex being interviewed by a skills coach, then NBA legend and former LA Laker Robert Horry, AKA “Big Shot Rob,” joined the conversation on stage. He shared adorable stories about his wife constantly riding with Alex and every time he walks in the room he hears Alex’s sexy voice… thinking, “not again with that guy!!”  Alex was charming and humble and clearly grateful for the past 10 years with Peloton and the community.
For the run, Alex led us in a warm up with jumps, high knees and butt kicks, then we hit the streets in 3 different pace groups for a 3 mile run/jog or walk. Upon return there were drinks and a food truck with burgers then we sang to Alex while another NBA All Star, Dominique Wilkins, showed up to present Alex with his cake. We took a group photo and I put myself right next to AT but I haven’t seen that photo posted anywhere yet! Alex then took photos with everyone in front of the step and repeat. Alex was so warm and friendly towards me and I was thrilled he remembered me. I spent a lot of time with him back in the day when things were different at Peloton’s old studio. In fact, I was on Alex’s very first ride 10 years ago, and was thrilled to celebrate his 10 year Pelo-verary. A great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day in my book!!”

Michelle also adds:
“There were under 100 people there, mostly Peloton folks. I was surprised that as an Angeleno with so many Alex rides, I didn’t get an invitation from Peloton. I was lucky to have heard about it from someone on the SoCal page! It was a well done event and I am incredibly grateful to have something from Peloton here on the “best-west” coast!!”
Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your experience!

A Community Affair
