• Comments: LA Marathon has a poor reputation (inter)nationally and the new course (introduced in 2007) still gets mixed reviews (at best), but it is a good community event and there are spectators along the entire course. If--like me--you like variety of urban environments and ethnic enclaves, it's a good tour of the city.
