Live Stream, TV, Route, Start Time, Schedule

LA Marathon

If you need a race that navigates through a breathtaking course encapsulating the iconic Hollywood Hills and the sun kissed coastline, then the LA marathon is ideal for you. The marathon  attracts around 24,000 athletes for an event that is marketed as a race from the Stadium to the Sea and is also watched live on TV and online via the live stream by a large global audience.

Some of the city's most iconic sites are passed along the marathon route, including Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard, the famous Hollywood sign, sections of Route 66 and Beverly Hills City Hall, making this a very popular race with global athletes.

The LA marathon has been covered live for several years now by local channel KTLA5, which makes it one the easier events to watch live, especially with the addition in recent years of a live stream for the channel to allow online viewers to take in the full race too - see below for how to watch live.
