The ASICS Los Angeles Marathon is this Sunday, and the sold-out race will draw more than 25,000 runners and many spectators to the streets of Los Angeles. As always, the big event will bring a series of road closures.
Here’s a rundown of those road closures.
The 41st annual marathon starts at 7 a.m. from Dodger Stadium. The finish line is at Santa Monica Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars in Century City. Runners have 6 hours and 30 minutes to complete the course from when the last person crosses the start line.
The 26.2-mile course goes through some of LA’s most recognizable neighborhoods and landmarks, including Little Tokyo, Capitol Records Tower, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Grauman’s Chinese Theater, Chateau Marmont, Rodeo Drive, Chinatown, Sunset Strip and Beverly Hills.
