“We are thrilled to welcome the L.A. Marathon back to Beverly Hills,” Mayor Robert Wunderlich said. “We hope our iconic streets inspire and bring a spring to the steps of the runners as they enter the final third of the race.”

“As Los Angeles Marathon runners set out on a new 26.2-mile course from Dodger Stadium to the Avenue of the Stars in Century City, they’ll pass through incredible spots in our city that make history and mark progress,” West Hollywood Mayor Lauren Meister added.

Beverly Hills will welcome runners with entertainment and community support along the route. The L.A.
