The LA Marathon is an annual running event held each spring in Los Angeles, Calif. The 26.219 mile (42.195 km) footrace, inspired by the success of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, has been contested every year since 1986. While there are no qualifying standards to participate in the Skechers Performnce LA Marathon, runners wishing to receive an official time must successfully complete the course in eight hours. To date, there have been 459,570 official finishers.
Los Angeles is a popular venue for novice marathoners, and on average 53 percent of the runners who make up the field are attempting a marathon for the first time. The Marathon has been through several course layouts since its inception, most of which started and finished in downtown Los Angeles. On Sept. 25, 2008, former Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team owner Frank McCourt, through his affiliate, LA MARATHON LLC, acquired the operating rights to the marathon.
Less than 14 months later, on Nov. 9, 2009, race organizers unveiled a new “Stadium to the Sea” course which shifted the starting line to Dodger Stadium and the finish line to the Santa Monica Pier. Due to the enthusiasm generated by the dynamic new point-to-point course, the 2010 edition of the race drew 26,054 registrants (22,361 finishers), making it the largest field in the history of the event.
2025 will be our 6th year at this location for the Double 15K (10K+break+5K), 10k, 5k and kids mile (13 and under). You are going to love our flat and fast course. All participants will receive an official shirt, tote bag and all finishers will receive a big medal. Brisbane is just 20 minutes from downtown San Francisco and one hour from San Jose. And just 8 minutes north of the San Francisco International Airport.
Winner in ten-year age-groups in all events will get a performance medal. Trophies for all three races and $200 cash prizes for the Double 15K ($100 for first woman and man). Plenty of food and other goodies. It is a good time of the year to be racing in this part of the San Francisco Bay.

If Australia is a top destination for sport, then Queensland’s Gold Coast City is the absolute summit. A natural sporting playground and one of the world’s most scenic beach cities, Gold Coast offers endless sandy vistas, a vibrant party atmosphere and in 2018 will host the Commonwealth Games in a range of new and existing world-class venues.
From April 4-15 2018, Gold Coast’s Carrara Stadium will be the venue for athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies. Nearby Southport Broadwater will host Swimming and Diving, while Labrador will host Hockey and the brand new Coomera Indoor Sports Centre will host Netball finals and Artistic and Rhythmic Gymnastics.
Most countries around the world use a selection committee to choose their Olympic Team Members, but not the USA. Prior to 1968, a series of races were used to select the USA Olympic Marathon team, but beginning in 1968 the format was changed to a single race on a single day with the top three finishers selected to be part of the Olympic Team and the fourth and fifth finishers designated as alternates.
As a once-every-four-years opportunity to be selected to the Olympic Marathon team, the USA Olympic Team Trials is arguably the most important marathon that many will run. For some, just getting to the Trials is a goal in itself and marks them as among the best in the USA.
For others, the Trials is the first step in making the Olympic Team. Whatever the motivation for running the Trials, one thing is for sure: the men and women who will represent the USA at the 2020 Olympic Marathon in Tokyo will come from the lists on these pages.

THE RACE - Galen Rupp won the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials for a second straight time, returning from a coaching change and major injury to repeat as champion.The trials were held Feb 29 in Atlanta Georgia.
Rupp, a two-time Olympic medalist, clocked an unofficial 2:09:20 to win by about 42 seconds and qualify for his fourth Olympics. He is joined on the Olympic team by second- and third-place finishersJacob RileyandAbdi Abdirahman.
Rupp was the 2016 Olympic Marathon Bronze Medalist. The 33-year-old Galen is from Portland Oregon. At the 2012 Olympics Galen was the 10,000m Silver Medalist.
Today was a bit challening. The wind was very strong but the temp was perfect being 50 degrees at the start.
After 20 miles Galen was in total control. The big question of the day was who was going to place second and third. At 25 miles Abdirahman, Maiyo, Korir and Riley were within two seconds of each other with Jacob Riley leading them. 31-year-old Riley best time before today was 2:10:36.
Jacob Riley finished second clocking 2:10:02 a new personal best for him. Abdirahman, 43, will breakBernard Lagat‘s record as the oldest U.S. Olympic runner in history. He will become the second American runner to compete in five Olympics, joiningGail Devers, according to Olympic historianBill Mallon.
Jared Ward, who was sixth in the Rio Olympic marathon, began fading from a chase pack soon after Rupp surged to the lead in the 16th mile.
Rupp finished a marathon for the first time since October 2018. In between, he underwent Achilles surgery and dropped out of the 2019 Chicago Marathon with a calf injury. He also lost career-long coachAlberto Salazarto a doping suspension last fall.
Rupp was not implicated by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and has a clean drug-testing record.
“I feel relief, almost, more than anything,” Rupp toldLewis Johnsonon NBC. “It’s been a really long year and a half.”
Discover how the Los Angeles Candidature Committee describes their vision for the Games and the legacy they plan to leave behind:
For centuries, people have been following the sun to California – to a coastal paradise of beautiful weather, inspiring landscapes and an ocean of possibilities. Since it was first settled, LA – the City of Angels – has built a culture of progress by harnessing creativity and imagination for reinvention. Today, LA28 is inviting the world to follow the sun on a journey of sport and innovation destined to help transform the Games to:
Deliver the ultimate personalised experience for the Athletes
Maximise our existing sports infrastructure to ensure a sustainable long-term legacy
Produce a fresh blend of sport and entertainment to help refresh the Olympic brand worldwide and capture the imagination of youth
Reignite America’s passion for the Olympic Movement for generations to come
Embrace the principles of Olympic Agenda 2020 through fiscally prudent Games that deliver enduring benefits to the host city and the Olympic Movement.
As a symbol of our vision, we will utilise LA’s brightest star, the sun. The sun not only shines on the thousands of athletes who live and train in Los Angeles, it serves as a powerful ally in the search for a more sustainable Games.
Today, the sun lights the Olympic flame. Tomorrow, it will ignite an energy revolution. By following the sun, LA 2028 will help reimagine a New Games for a New Era.
Sustainability and legacy
Situated on a wide hilly coastal plain, Los Angeles is one of the most geographically diverse cities in the world with picturesque mountains, vibrant canyons, verdant valleys and world-renowned beaches. Bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the south and west, LA stretches from the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains to the north down to the San Gabriel Mountains to the east, with canyons and valleys that are home to a vast array of wildlife and natural wonders. LA is characterised by its consistent climate and cheerful sunshine that draw millions of people from around the world to pursue their dreams.
The opportunity to host the 2028 Olympic Games has already catalysed LA’s community. Hundreds of partners are excited to promote the extraordinary values the Olympic Games stand for, and the values LA holds dear, including sustainability in all of its forms – social inclusion, economic benefit and environmental stewardship.
LA 2028’s vision for the Games is to create a grand partnership among the city’s stakeholders that sets the standard for sustainable mega-events everywhere, and makes that knowledge universally accessible and applicable. The guiding principle behind this vision is to “work with what exists”. LA 2028’s Games concept uses 100 percent existing and temporary venues with plans to reuse or return all temporary and overlay materials to their natural state — a revolutionary concept that will extend beyond the Games.
LA 2028 will work towards hosting the first “Energy Positive Games” by generating more energy through renewable sources and energy efficiency efforts than the energy needed to power the Games. The candidature has already commenced discussions with LA’s venue operators, regional utility partners, tech innovators and the region’s 18 million residents to meet this goal.
Finally, LA 2028 will accelerate the city’s ambitious goal of achieving zero waste through its venue operations and overlay reuse strategy. This will be accomplished by partnering with venues to develop robust recycling programmes that apply best practices from LA’s existing stadiums, including the LA Memorial Coliseum – the largest National Football League stadium to achieve zero waste.
Athlete's View
Q&A with Allyson Felix, athletics
A native Angeleno, Allyson Felix is the most decorated female Olympian in track and field history, with a total of nine Olympic medals.
How would the sustainable Games plan benefit the athletes of your community?
“LA 2028’s Games plan was built with sustainability as a core pillar and this will translate to significant benefits for the thousands of Olympians and community sport organisations in Southern California. LA 2028’s guiding principle is responsibility: that means to work with what already exists, and this means everything from world-class venues to LA’s robust network of over 2,000 youth sports organisations, including the LA84 Foundation. Leading up to the Games, LA 2028 will form a Youth Sports Committee to work with these existing organisations, in a joint endeavour to bolster their own programming and curricula around sport and healthy living, with unique content provided by the organising committee in collaboration with the Olympic Education Commission. After the Games, a 2028 Legacy Foundation will continue this work by distributing sports assets including swimming pools, equipment and funding.”

LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games Plan
The updated LA28 Games Plan reflects the bounty of existing world-class venues in LA, offering the best possible experience for athletes and fans, while supporting LA28’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and sustainability. When LA28 won the bid back in 2017, we shared a Games Plan that reflected the best venues for the sports anticipated in the LA28 Games. Since then, LA28 has introduced new sports, new disciplines are being considered, and new venues have been built.
This is a new chapter of the LA28 Games Plan that consists of all the Olympic and Paralympic sports and the latest venue plan updates. The LA28 Paralympic venue plan will be launched at a later date. Stay tuned as more venues, disciplines, and medal events are unveiled in the coming years.
