The ASICS Los Angeles Marathon announced that it sold out in record time this year with 26,000 registrations completed well before race day. Nearly two months remain until the 41st anniversary event on March 8th, 2026.
As the city’s largest and longest-running community sporting event, the Los Angeles Marathon attracts runners from all over the world who come to complete the ultimate bucket list goal.
“World-class running events like the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon bring worldwide attention and thousands of participants and spectators into the city,” said Stacy Embretson, L.A. Marathon vice president and race director.
“Running is becoming an ‘it’ sport, which is reflected in all things connected to the marathon, including participation and support for our associated programs. For those who didn’t act quickly enough to gain an entry, there are still limited opportunities to run while also supporting important causes through Team TMF.”
How else can I participate in the L.A. Marathon?
The L.A. Marathon still has spots available for the Charity Half Marathon, which is for runners who fundraise for Team TMF or one of the marathon’s partner organizations. Participants can also still sign up for the LA 5K on March 7th.
More than 70,000 people are expected to turn out for the marathon’s two-day Lifestyle Expo on March 6th and 7th at Dodger Stadium. The free event is open to the public, offering official race merchandise, over 100 exhibitors, and the LA Kids Run.
What’s the L.A. Marthon route?
The L.A. Marathon’s 26.2-mile route begins at Dodger Stadium, passing through iconic neighborhoods including Downtown, Little Tokyo, Echo Park, Hollywood, West Hollywood, and the Westside, before finishing in Century City at Santa Monica Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars.
With 26,000 runners, the L.A. Marathon is one of the largest marathons in the country. Enormous crowds of spectators are known to gather along the route to cheer on participants and enjoy live entertainment stages.
