Runner Ratings & Reviews

JPB's review of 2013 race.   

Review

Ran the 2013 Asics LA Marathon and I thought it was very well organized and the route lived up to its promise of running by LA landmarks, i.e. Hollywood, Beverly Hills, etc. The weather was perfect 55-59 degrees. Spectator's turn out was good from miles 10-finish. The course was not difficult but did have some challenging rolling hills late in the race around miles 19-21. I didn't PR but ran my 2nd fastest time.

Race Tips

The course is comprised of rolling hills. Be sure to save a little for the challenging hills around miles 19-21. Miles 23-finish is mostly downhill.

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

If your travelling for the race, stay at the finish, i.e. Santa Monica as the race will shuttle you from Santa Monica City Hall to Dodger stadium in the morning. The race offers discounted hotels in Santa Monica near the beach for a good discount. Go through the race website.
