LA Marathon Finish Line in Santa Monica this Sunday

Santa Monica will welcome over 20,000 runners for the last three miles of the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday, March 18, 2018. The City of Santa Monica aims to create a safe, friendly atmosphere for all visitors while reducing the impacts on residents. Taking public transit or riding your bike on the day of the marathon is a great way to help reduce traffic.
