The ASICS Los Angeles Marathon is produced by The McCourt Foundation. It is teaming up with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. They aim to bring the magic of the Oscars® directly to the course on race day, Sunday, March 8. At Mile 11, along the famed Hollywood Boulevard, the marathon route will be transformed into a full red carpet experience for participants. This will create a uniquely cinematic moment in the heart of Los Angeles.
In a nod to the 98th Oscars on Sunday, March 15, Mile 11 will be designed to mimic the esteemed awards ceremony. This gives runners the chance to experience the red carpet. They can snap a photo as they pass the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, the historic home of the Oscars.
