This Sunday, hundreds of L.A. Marathon runners will make their way across the city, bringing a series of road closures and restrictions starting Saturday night—so make your weekend plans accordingly.
Officially known as the Sketchers Performance L.A. Marathon, the runners will gather at Dodger Stadium for a 6:30am start. From there, the race will take them through the surrounding area, then West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, eventually winding up at the finish line in Santa Monica.
If you’re hoping to cheer on a loved one as they complete the run, your best bet will be taking Metro’s Expo Line, which is offering an enhanced service schedule for the day. The downtown Santa Monica station is just six blocks from the end point of the marathon and will help you avoid the considerable traffic and parking difficulty that is being predicted for the area.
