Where to Watch the LA Marathon

 

The 33rd Los Angeles 26.2 miler is on March 18, 2018

From the Stadium to the Sea is more than just a tag line for the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon. The course begins at Dodgers Stadium and finishes in Santa Monica near the picturesque Pier; these start and finish lines have been in effect since 2010.

While it is the Los Angeles Marathon, it covers ground through Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood and passes by notable LA landmarks such as El Pueblo de Los Angeles State Park, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels, Sunset Boulevard, the Walk of Fame, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Rodeo Drive, and of course, Dodgers Stadium and the Pacific Ocean.

The ocean view Finish Line features a festival at the Angel City Brewery Beer Garden complete with entertainment. Runners are eligible for a complimentary beer (10am-2:30pm) as well as a complimentary massage. If I ran a marathon, I’d definitely need some relaxation, recreation, and restoration.
