  • Comments: The move of the marathon from early March to Memorial Day was received like a stink bomb by the LA running community and it's a near certainty the race will move back to its traditional date soon. That said, the new ownership appears to have been very conscious of all the negative PR and tried to put on a better race. The volunteers...esp. at the finish...were all incredibly solicitous of the finishers' needs and quick with congratulations. Aid stations were very well-stocked and staffed. Course is not especially challenging and not too scenic, but does show you sides of the City of LA that a lot of folks avoid...and really shouldn't.
