Street Closures for Sunday's '13.1 Los Angeles' Half-Marathon That Kicks Off in Venice
The 13.1 Los Angeles half-marathon kicks off tomorrow morning in Venice and heads south down to Playa Vista and loops back. The race kicks off at the Venice Boardwalk at Rose at 7 am tomorrow morning.
Because it doesn't cut through the city and major thoroughfares and sticks close to the coast, this half-marathon isn't as likely to be as intrusive as other big races in town, but we have the low-down on street closures should you plan to head to the coast on Sunday.
