The LA Marathon will go on as planned. I salute the LAM folks. The coronavirus should be respected, but races have very few of the people being harmed by the Covid-19 novel coronavirus. Healthy people, if they get anything, seem to be getting a lighter version of the virus. The rash of cancelled events do not seem to understand even the basics from the CDC and WHO guidelines.
We wish thre 25,000 who will run LAM the very best of races and continued health.
LOS ANGELES (USA): As the coronavirus outbreak begins to spread across the U.S., at least one major gathering of athletes will go on as planned in Los Angeles. A week after the Tokyo Marathon urged spectators to avoid the course and limited its race to elite runners, the Los Angeles Marathon will go on as planned, despite 26 cases of the virus in California. Los Angeles has one confirmed case but has not yet become a center for concern. While the gathering of more than 25,000 runners and hundreds of thousands of spectators in Los Angeles will go on, the rest of the running world has taken measures to help prevent the spread of the virus as pandemic concerns spread through the media Writes frntofficesport.com.
