The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) will have traffic officers and special operations teams along the course, managing closures and directing traffic. They advise using public transit and allowing extra travel time. Some Metro buses and DASH routes will have detours in place.
For those planning to drive, be aware that marked tow-away zones along the marathon route will be strictly enforced, with vehicles towed at the owner’s expense. Whether participating, spectating, or navigating the city, residents are encouraged to plan ahead for a smooth marathon day experience.
