The Los Angeles Marathon returns to Brentwood this weekend.
The 2022 Los Angeles Marathon will take place on Sunday, March 20. This comes months after the 2021 race took place after a pandemic-induced delay.
The upcoming race will follow the same “Stadium to Stars” course, starting at Dodger Stadium and finishing at Avenue of the Stars in Century City. As in 2021, the race will not finish in Santa Monica. The course will follow its traditional route until Brentwood, where runners double back on San Vicente, Sepulveda and Santa Monica boulevards before finishing at Avenue of the Stars. The Marathon route no longer runs the length of San Vicente and now stops near Bundy Drive.

- Both lanes of San Vicente Boulevard between Wilshire Boulevard and Saltaire Avenue between 5 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Both lanes of Wilshire Boulevard between Sepulveda Boulevard and Barrington Avenue between 5 a.m. – 2:20 p.m.
- Both lanes of Sepulveda Boulevard Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard between 5 a.m. – 2:45 p.m.
