Charity 2-Person Marathon
The Charity 2-Person Marathon will take place at the same time as the 2012 Honda LA Marathon. You and a teammate join forces and each run 13.1 miles to complete the marathon distance of 26.2 miles.
The first leg of the 2-Person Marathon will begin at Dodger Stadium and includes iconic neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Echo Park, Silverlake, as well as landmarks including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Pantages Theatre, and Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
The second leg jumps immediately onto the Sunset Strip on its way to Santa Monica passing Santa Monica Blvd, Rodeo Drive, the Veteran's Administration, and finishing on Ocean Ave just steps from the Santa Monica Pier.
- First leg: Dodger Stadium to Transition Zone on Sunset Strip. First runner will then be shuttled to the Finish Line in Santa Monica.
