The ASICS Los Angeles Marathon is more than just a race, it’s a total community effort, with support and encouragement at every turn. Register to run, come out to see the runners, or volunteer. The marathon is a great Los Angeles tradition and outdoor activity!
Participants will run the Stadium to the Sea course; beginning at Dodger Stadium and head through Los Angeles, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and down to the beaches of Santa Monica.
Runners finish with a final stretch alongside the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Throughout the course, runners will take in signature sites including El Pueblo de Los Angeles (the city’s birthplace), Los Angeles City Hall, the Capitol Records Building, the Dolby Theater (home of the Oscars), the Sunset Strip, historic Route 66, Rodeo Drive, and the Santa Monica Pier.
As runners leave Beverly Hills and head toward Mile 18, they will be greeted by hundreds of local cheerleaders making noise to encourage runners get to the finish line of the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon. Cheer Alley is the Pep-Rally of the year, and is comprised of Middle and High School cheerleaders from Southern California.
Here’s the Official Course Map for the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon. Start planning your race strategy now, and be sure to look out for landmarks along the way as you run from Stadium to the Sea!
