The 41st annual Los Angeles Marathon will take over city streets this Sunday, March 8th, 2026.
Organizers have released a complex list of road and highway closures happening along the route, which will be closed either partially or fully starting as early as 3 am on race day.
Keep reading for a closer look at the road closures we can expect this Sunday.
Road and highway closures
The 26.2-mile route begins at Dodger Stadium, passing through 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.
Nearly 40 roads along the route will experience partial or full closures.
The majority of road closures will start between 3 and 5 am. Ramps on the 110, 101, and 405 will be impacted.
Most of the closures near the start of the route will reopen by mid-morning, and as the race moves forward, streets will progressively reopen at the discretion of L.A. Fire and Police, with the majority fully open again by 1 p.m.
Some road closures are also listed as “Local Access,” meaning that residents may approach the closure and request Local Access to enter.
