The 2023 Los Angeles Marathon, the “Stadium to the Stars” on March 19, is presented by Asics, a Japanese multinational corporation that sells athletic footwear, clothing and accessories.
Asics — an acronym taken from a Latin phrase that may be translated to “sound mind, sound body” — is also hosting the required runner bib and race packet pickup for registered marathon runners. And on March 17-18 Asics is hosting the Charity Half Marathon at a Health and Fitness Expo at Dodger Stadium.
If you are running in the marathon, there is no “race day” bib pickup unless you have pre-purchased Start Line Hospitality.
