Before you go

Pro tips

Racing it

  1. 01

    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

  2. 02

    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.

  3. 03

    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.

    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.
