Leaves Dodger Stadium for Chinatown, Hollywood, the Sunset Strip and Rodeo Drive before finishing in Century City. Net downhill, with rollers through Hollywood.
Before you go
Racing it
Start at Dodger Stadium
The 07:00 start is at Dodger Stadium, and the course is point-to-point, so plan pre-dawn transport to the start and a separate way home from Century City.
From the start time, layout
Ride the Rollers
The profile is rolling with 200 m of total climb and net downhill, including rollers through Hollywood; run the ups by effort and use the downs without sprinting.

Dress for 15C
Typical race-day temperature is 15C, cool at 07:00 but mild once you're moving, so a light layer you can shed beats heavy gear.

Landmark Checkpoints
The route goes from Dodger Stadium through Chinatown, Hollywood, the Sunset Strip and Rodeo Drive before finishing in Century City; use those landmarks to break up the race.
From the description
Finish-Line Logistics
Because you finish in Century City rather than at the start, set a clear meetup spot and expect post-race congestion there; this matters for spectators too.

In Los Angeles
Race-Day Transit
Metro Rail is often the easiest way around downtown and Hollywood when streets close; expect road closures and give yourself extra time.
Spectator Spots
Friends can watch in Hollywood, along the Sunset Strip, or near the Century City finish; choosing a spot near a Metro stop helps avoid traffic.
Recover and Reset
Recover with a gentle walk in Griffith Park or a relaxed afternoon in a neighborhood like Silver Lake; LA's sprawl makes planning your next move worthwhile.
