Kenyans dominated today's 39th Los Angeles Marathon, taking the top two spots in the men's field and the top spot in the women's race in the second-largest field in the event's history.
The marathon reached its capacity of 26,000 entrants Friday, trailing only the 2020 race, which had 27,150 entrants, organizers said. The race has topped 20,000 entrants 22 of the past 25 years, with the only exceptions coming in 2009, when the race was run on Memorial Day for the lone time, 2021, when it was delayed until November because of restrictions prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, and 2022 when it returned to its traditional March date.
The course is unchanged from 2023, the first time since 2020 the course has not changed, Cruz said. The chase was part of the marathon from 2004 to 2014, with women winning seven times and men four. It was discontinued in 2015 when the race served as the USA Marathon Championships. It was revived in 2022 with women winning both times since its revival.
A U.S. runner last won the women's race in 1994. The field includes 95 legacy runners -- 84 men and 11 women -- who have run all 38 previous editions of the race. Golden Stars were be placed along the course in their honor as a precursor to the Los Angeles Marathon Hall of Fame.
