| Start Line at DODGER STADIUM. NO PARKING, JUST RUNNING, BABY! |
IN and OUTS ON THE BIG RACE!
The 26th edition of the Honda LA Marathon presented by K-Swiss will be held on Sunday, March 20,
2011 over the landmark Stadium to the Sea course.
The race-day schedule:
6:53 a.m.: Los Angeles Marathon wheelchair start
7:00 a.m.: Los Angeles Marathon hand-cranked wheelchair start
~7:11 a.m.: Los Angeles Marathon elite women’s start (time approximate)
~7:29 a.m.: Los Angeles Marathon field start (time approximate)
~9:50 a.m.: Awards presentation at the Finish Line Beach Party
The race will be run over the iconic Stadium to the Sea course, starting at Dodger Stadium and
rolling through Downtown Los Angeles, the Hollywood area, the City of West Hollywood, City of
Beverly Hills, the U.S. Veterans Administration Healthcare Center grounds, the Brentwood area
and finishing in Santa Monica on Ocean and California Avenues, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
More than 25,000 entrants are expected, making the race once again one of the four-largest
marathons in the U.S. and one of the ten-largest worldwide.
A prize purse of $110,000 in cash plus two Honda Insight EX sedans (MSRP $23,100) will be
offered to competitors, with $25,000 for first place (plus the car), $12,500 for second, $10,000 for
third, $5,000 for fourth, and $2,500 for fifth.
Two-time defending champion Wesley Korir of Kenya will try to become the first person to win
the race three times.
A Los Angeles Marathon “Challenge Bonus” for $100,000 will be given to the first person – man
or woman – who crosses the finish line, with the elite women’s field beginning the race with a
several-minute handicap. Thus, the man or woman who crosses first will take home $125,000 and
a new Honda Insight EX for less than 2½ hours of racing.
Also in the field will be 220 “Legacy” runners who have run all 25 prior Los Angeles Marathons!
So, are you running? What time do you want to run? Hit my comment section below. Have fun. Hydrate. Avoid the nuclear fall out this weekend from Japan.
