image001.pngThe ASICS LA Marathon is just a month a way (well, actually 27 days). ASICS was a long time sponsor, and is now back with the marathon in the City of Angels. We love this race, the ability to see the iconic communties in LA, and to finish in one of the most amazing finish lines, along the coast, in Santa Monica!

If you get a chance to run this one, do it!

2020 Los Angeles Marathon to Welcome Most Runners All-Time

• Presented by ASICS, the milestone 35th anniversary event will take place on Sunday, March 8 and is on-course to become the biggest gathering of runners in the marathon’s history
• The Los Angeles Marathon is one of the top-five marathons in the country with thousands of participants traversing the world-renowned ‘Stadium to the Sea’ course, which tours iconic landmarks in Greater Los Angeles from Dodger Stadium to the Santa Monica Pier

LOS ANGELES – (February 11, 2020) – The experience of running from the ‘Stadium to the Sea’ has never been more popular. The 2020 Los Angeles Marathon presented by ASICS will welcome the largest field in the 35-year history of the event on Sunday, March 8.
With less than 30 days until race weekend, the marathon continues to build on its strong legacy of being Southern California’s most popular running event and is on track to sell out well in advance of race day.
“Our goal in celebrating this milestone 35th edition is to raise the bar of the marathon’s positive impact on the Los Angeles community. With incredible neighborhood support, exciting competitive wheelchair and elite races, amazing charity partners and compelling athlete stories, the marathon continues to deliver experiences and life-changing moments unmatched by any other event in the Greater Los Angeles Area,” said Murphy Reinschreiber, Chief Operating Officer of The McCourt Foundation. “Now operated by a non-profit, the increased size of the marathon is a strong initial indication of our intention to grow the marathon’s charity, community and economic footprint. This year we will surpass our previous registrant record of 26,054 and can’t wait to deliver another world-class experience.”
To celebrate its 35-year history, the Los Angeles Marathon launched a “35 Reasons” campaign featuring the incredible stories that have made the event a must-see spectacle. The 26.2-mile road race is a community tradition, taking runners by several major L.A. landmarks from Dodger Stadium to the finish line, just a few steps from the Santa Monica Pier.
Marathon weekend kicks off with a two-day Health & Fitness Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Friday, March 6. The free expo is open to the public and features interactive exhibits, live entertainment and the official Los Angeles Marathon Merchandise Store, where all runners pick up their race packet.
The running begins on Saturday with the BIG LA 5k. The course starts and finishes at Dodger Stadium and runs through the beautiful Elysian Park. This family-friendly event starts at 8am and is open to participants of all ages and abilities, including kids races for children from kindergarten to seventh grade. All participants will receive a race shirt, finishers medal and post-race refreshments to top off a truly unforgettable race experience.
On Sunday, the 35th Los Angeles Marathon will commence with the wheelchair start at 6:30am, and the elite women scheduled to start at 6:45am. Runners enjoy a one-of-a kind pre-race starting line venue at Dodger Stadium.
Los Angeles is a global destination event with runners from all 50 states as well as 69 countries registered to participate. Nearly 32% of the 2020 field will be participating in their very first marathon. The marathon’s charity platform educates and empowers 74 local and national charities to raise awareness for their causes and increase fund-raising efforts. Since 1985, the Los Angeles Marathon has helped charities raise over $54 million for a variety of causes and non-profit organizations.
The 35th running welcome 125 legacy athletes who have competed in all previous 34 editions of the race. Further information about the 2020 Los Angeles Marathon presented by ASICS, can be found online at LAMarathon.com.
