Description
The Los Angeles Marathon is an annual marathon held in Los Angeles, California since 1986. It was inspired by the success of the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. The race starts at about 8:15AM and runs through Downtown Los Angeles, Koreatown, the Crenshaw district, and passes by the University of Southern California, as well as several other landmarks. The track is 42.195 km - 26.2 miles long. There are more spectators that come out each year than any other marathon (over 1,000,000) and cheer on the 25,000+ runners by name, thanks to personalized bibs, which were introduced in 2003. SRLA's colors in 2007 were white, black, and teal. The 22nd Los Angeles Marathon, run on March 4, 2007, featured a new predominantly downhill course that begins at Universal Studios Hollywood and runs through "globally recognizable landmarks" in the Los Angeles area. For the first time, the race entered Boyle Heights on the East Side of Los Angeles, before heading back to the finish line downtown.
