🏆 What Makes the LA Marathon Special

Point-to-point 'Stadium to the Sea' course from Dodger Stadium to Century City showcasing LA's diverse neighborhoods
Net downhill profile (-251ft) with strategic climbs: 4% grade at Mile 5 and final 3.5% climb at Miles 25.9-26.1
Grade distribution: 58% flat, 16% minor decline, 14% minor incline - deceptively challenging rolling terrain
Early descent from Dodger Stadium can tempt over-pacing - conservative start absolutely crucial for success

Aid stations every 1-2 miles with Electrolit, water, and medical support strategically positioned
