Los Angeles Marathon: The “Stadium to the Stars” event takes place on March 19 with runners, competitive wheelchair and handcycle racers surging for 26.2-miles from Dodger Stadium to Century City. The 38th annual event has a slightly different finish line this year due to construction of a new Metro station in Century City — the finish is on Santa Monica Boulevard near the intersection of Avenue of the Stars. The last day to register as a walk-up may be available on March 17-18 at Dodger Stadium; check the website). Prior to the marathon there will be two special runs on March 18, solely at Dodger Stadium/Elysian Park: LA Big 5K at 8 a.m., and the LA Big 1/2K Kids Run at 9:30 a.m. for ages 3-8 (the Kids Run may still be available for registration; check the website). Also, on March 17-18, is a free “Health and Fitness Expo” that is open to the public at 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on March 17, and also, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on March 18 (free parking for both days; Dodger Stadium, in Lot G, 1000 Vin Scully Ave., Los Angeles). The marathon begins for wheelchair participants at 6:30 a.m.; followed by the handcyclers, 6:35; followed by the runners at 6:55 a.m. The route goes through parts of Los Angeles, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Century City. lamarathon.com/pages/la-marathon
