LA28 Olympic Marathon course will start at Venice Beach - Where will it finish? Where will the course go?

They going to use this as the trials course too?

One thing I've been interested in is whether the marathon will still be toward the end of the Games, since they're moving track to the first week. You have to go back to Mexico City 1968 for the most recent Games when track was in the earlier part of the schedule, and that year the marathon ended up in the middle of the Games. Just wondering since if they run the track events in the first week but keep the marathon at the end, it could facilitate some doubling that we might not see normally. Grant Fisher in the 10,000 / marathon double???

It should start at Trump National Golf Course.

This makes too much sense so no

Does anyone know what the route was for the 1932 Olympic Marathon?

All I know is that it started and ended at the Coliseum.

Still working out the details, but the plan is for the finish to be down the street from Rich's house, where celebratory beers will be available for the participants.

california will clean (hide) up their massive homeless population for a few weeks and then stop caring after that. On a related note why the heck would anyone be homeless in new york, chicago, atlanta, and other cities when california is a paradise for the homeless? Great weather, lots of free goodies, and failing La La Land Fantasy policies.

You Mean Rich is going to have to move his tent?

Not the 1932 course but I have the '84 course.

watch out for those lazing hobos that’ll trip up the East Africans at the start

I like that course. Part of it was on the Marina Freeway. Started and finished on a track. Joan took off at mile 3 and never looked back.

The first organized marathon took place at the 1896 Olympics in Athens, Greece. The race drew inspiration from an ancient Greek legend about a messenger who ran from the town of Marathon to Athens, a distance of roughly 25 mi...

Sounds likely to be a net uphill course.

Look at the inset "Map Showing Marathon Course". The northeast portion appears slightly different compared to the Interactive Map.

Mantz should win this easily as only NK and Russia will be the only other participants

Thank you! Don't know why anyone would downvote this. Maybe they don't like that the course was almost entirely over what would become gang territory.

The 84 course went directly past the OJ Simpson murder scene on Bundy Drive, right before it turned left onto San Vicente.

I really hope that they go up into the Hollywood Hills. I would LOVE a Paris style course. Paris had 1437 feet of elevation gain. I would love to see a 1500 foot elevation gain course, hit the Hollywood walk of fame, hit the Griffith Observatory, with a similar descent and maybe finish at Dodger's stadium or even pass Dodger's stadium and finish at the Laker's stadium.

I tried to do a course from Venice to Hollywood/Highland, hitting the Observatory, and ending at Dodger Stadium, but it was 28 miles.

I made one that goes, Venice, Hollywood/Highland/Dodger Stadium/and ends at the Coliseum.

If the map shows up, it is 26 miles, final 0.2 can be improvised.
