About the event

The Los Angeles Marathon is one of the nation’s five largest marathons, drawing over 26,000 participants to the streets of LA each spring. Since 1986, the race has become a Southern California institution, famed for its “Stadium to the Stars” course—now beginning at Dodger Stadium and finishing amid the skyscrapers of Century City. Runners experience a dynamic urban route that passes iconic landmarks like Echo Park, Hollywood Boulevard, Rodeo Drive, and the Sunset Strip, cheered on by lively crowds, live music, and spirited neighborhood block parties. The gender-based “Marathon Chase” adds a unique twist for elites, offering a $10,000 bonus for the first to cross the line. Notable programs like Students Run LA empower thousands of local youth to train and compete, while the Legacy Runners, those who’ve completed every edition, highlight the event’s rich history. A multi-day Health & Fitness Expo is part of the event experience.

Stadium to the Sea, running through the landmarks of our beautiful city, along with twenty five thousand souls, it is quite a spectacular event.... We started at the one and only Dodger Stadium, running the full marathon distance of 26.2 miles, all the way to the ocean. This is my city, so it was extra special for me to run this event although I had done a Boston Qualifier Marathon in Arizona just three weeks ago. The whole city was out cheering, handing out oranges and bananas and water, etc, the whole course was alive with the wonderful vibe from the spectators, and the weather happened to be perfect for running, cool in the beginning and then the sun came out later in the day... The support system for this race is also fabulous through out the whole course and there was hot pizza and all kinds of refreshments at the hospitality tents in the finishers zone... In addition to the joy of running my city, I was also very proud of the new generation of kids who pounded the miles with us, as part of Students Run LA. Kudos, kids!!! Overall, a wonderful experience, not the fastest course in the world, but it totally rocks with the Stadium to the Sea run, and the final stretches are alive with the crowds cheering with all their might... The LA Marathon is the Super Bowl of our city, and I recommend everyone to put it on their bucket list and enjoy the run through my City of Angels...
