Whether you’re a runner or a bystander, check out the LA Marathon 2019 route map spanning from Dodger Stadium to the ocean
Mar 22, 2019 Next week, baseball returns to Dodger Stadium. But on Sunday, the ballpark will be used as the starting line for more than 24,000 runners participating. Next up, is the Los Angeles Marathon Route. The course through a community of international settings. You arrived here, to the course info on LA marathon, from the LA Marathon Main Article that was located here (for those of you that came here 'directly') The LA marathon is a true reflection of its community. As is its course.
The LA Marathon map looks a little bit like Waze’s rush hour directions—take the main drag for a bit, veer onto this side street, then loop back around. If you’re a runner, you probably know every inch of the course by now. But if you’re spectating, you’ll probably want to brush up on the LA Marathon 2019 route. The 26.2-mile race is by far the biggest L.A. event in March—it crosses nearly the entire east-west span on the city, with stretches through Downtown L.A., Echo Park, Hollywood and Santa Monica. So make sure to study the route map below—and don’t forget to pay attention to LA Marathon road closures—and maybe find a few go-to L.A. attractions in case you need a bathroom break.

The Los Angeles Marathon is an annual 42-kilometer-long distance race that has taken place every March since 1986. Inspiration for the organization was the 1984 Olympic Games. It is currently sponsored by Sketchers. During its history it became one of the largest marathons in the country, involving more than 25,000 runners, thousands of volunteers, and hundreds of thousands of spectators from around the world.
The marathon route is called the 'stadium to the sea' and passes by the main attractions of Los Angeles: from Dodger Stadium to the finish line in Santa Monica. A lot of schoolchildren and students take part in the Los Angeles marathon. In educational institutions, special courses are provided that help prepare for the run.
