The LA Marathon has moved back to a March date and a brand new and exciting course.

Starting downtown the race takes you through Hollywood and Beverley Hills then on to the coast at Santa Monica for a finish by the Ocean. See the route map. At the finish line there will be a festival and family reunion area right on the beach.

We have chosen a hotel in Santa Monica a short distance from the finish line on Santa Monica Boulevard with a shuttle to the start on race morning - its an early start but they have pre-start breakfast items available.

Thur 18 Mar: Depart from London Heathrow on the Virgin Atlantic flight to Los Angeles. On arrival transfer (30mins) to your hotel  for 4 nights The Best Western Santa Monica.

Fri 19 Mar: At leisure.

Sat 20 Mar: Free time to take in Los Angeles, Beverley Hills and Hollywood. Visit the Los Angeles Marathon Expo and collect your running pack.

Sun 21 Mar: Race Day - shuttle bus from the hotel to the start - the finish is a short walk from the hotel.

Monday 22 Mar: Time at leisure in the morning then transfer to LAX Airport for the return Virgin Atlantic flight to Heathrow (arriving next day), or extend your stay in Los Angeles.

Thu 25 Mar: Time at leisure in the morning then transfer to LAX Airport for the return Virgin Atlantic flight to Heathrow (arriving next day).

BEST WESTERN HOTEL SANTA MONICA

We have booked a hotel in the heart of Santa Monica, just a mile from the beach and with plenty of shopping all around, rather in downtown LA to make returning to the hotel at the end of the race very easy.

The Best Western Santa Monica is a First Class modern hotel in a good resort location and features an American style restaurant open for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

All rooms have:

• Bathrooms en suite
• Internet via TV
• Laptop connection
• Satellite TV
• Hairdryer
• Trouser press
