Maps: Road Closures Announced for L.A. Marathon

Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

MARCH 20, 2011: Looking for this year's route, street closures and transit changes? Check HERE.

Get ready for some Traffic this Sunday! City of Los Angeles traffic officials today released the complete list of street closures affected by this Sunday's sold-out Los Angeles Marathon, which has developed an extremely popular Stadium to Sea route. Portions of the race begin shortly before 7 a.m., but street closures across the city and three other cities--West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica--will begin during the 3 a.m. hour. Roads will be opened in sequence where parts of the race have ended.

And be warned, posted no-parking signs for the marathon will be strictly enforced, says LADOT. Vehicles in violation will be cited and impounded.

Events on Sunday begin at 6:55 a.m. for wheelchairs, 7:00 a.m. for hand cycles and 7:24 a.m. for all other participants. An accompanying 5K run event will be held at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, March 20 at 8 a.m.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
