Well I have something of an obsession with marathon courses that take in a range of popular locations and famous landmarks, which is why the New York and Rome marathons in particular have a real appeal to me, but when it comes to sheer volume of noteworthy locations then few can match up the the Los Angeles event.

The LA marathon takes place in mid-March each year, which for many US locations would pretty much guarantee you some dodgy weather conditions, but in California at this time of year the climate is much more likely to oblige with some nice warm sunshine, without being so hot as to make life unpleasant for the participating ahtletes.

This marathon has been taking place each year since 1986, and was originally inspired by the success of the marathon events at the 1984 LA Olympic Games and it is now one of the most popular in the United States. The course itself is a run through one of the most iconic and memorable cityscapes anywhere in the world and passes by some of the most instantly recognisable global landmarks, including Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard, the famous Hollywood sign, sections of Route 66, Beverly Hills City Hall and the Santa Monica Pier.
