The Best Selfies From the L.A. Marathon

If you were like us and were too lazy to get up for the L.A. Marathon on a Daylight Savings day, these selfies will make you feel like you were there.About 25,000 people took part in the marathon this morning, which ran from Dodger Stadium to near the Santa Monica Pier. And as any good Angeleno knows, if you didn’t take a selfie, it might as well not have happened.
This girl managed to take video while running 26 miles.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
