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.

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.

   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.
