The LA River Half-Marathon is the official race of the LA River, started in 2013. This is a particularly beautiful course found in the heart of Los Angeles. The LA River is home to some of the most innovative projects we’ll see in our lifetimes. Not only that, it has become a connecting strength bringing together active commuters, neighborhoods, and some cool commercial enterprises. The race route runs along the LA River Greenway and Bike Path. There is a slight downhill grade on the first half of the route. Water, public facilities, and aid stations are placed throughout the course. The course is USATF certified. A post-race party will be held at Golden Road Brewing where every finisher (over 21) receives a complimentary beer. See below for other swag included.
