This year's marathon sold out, and 2014's is expected to sell out as well.
"It is our experience that when a race sells out, the demand increases exponentially for the event the next year,'' LA Marathon LLC Chief Executive Tracey Russell told CNS.
The marathon is always both loved and hated by residents of our fair city, as it shuts down streets all over town and makes driving difficult for the day. At least this year, Jesus made an appearance.
The marathon will be held on March 9 of 2014.
