About the Los Angeles Marathon:
The Los Angeles Marathon is watched around the globe, and is a premier running event held since 1986. Originally, the marathon was inspired by the success of the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. In fact, there are more spectators that come out each year to the LA Marathon; more than any other marathon (in excess of 1,000,000 spectators) to cheer on the 25,000+ runners. The 22nd Los Angeles Marathon, scheduled for March 4, 2007, features a new 26.2 mile-long, predominantly downhill course that begins at Universal Studios Hollywood and runs through "globally recognizable landmarks" in the Los Angeles area.
