Los Angeles lights up for LA Marathon

 

LA marathon 30th anniversary lights

 

LA Marathon celebrated it’s 30 year anniversary by lining the route with columns of lights.  It was quite the spectacle, from Dodger Stadium all the way to Santa Monica on Friday night.

 

LA MARATHON LIGHTS

 

Everyone was out Friday night,  enjoying the Los Angeles Indian summer.   If you were up in the Hollywood Hills, you were lucky to see the LA marathon lights from almost everywhere!

Such an interesting night, with temperatures of  75 degrees at 9 o’clock at night and strange looking lightsabers in the Los Angeles sky.  Marathon organizers, along with ASICS, sponsor of the Marathon, couldn’t have asked for a better night!

The heat was still expected to continue on Sunday.  So, Marathon organizers pushed up the start time by  30 minutes.   Over 26,000 runners participated from all around the world.  While the warm weather did affect some, most runners finished without any issues.

Golden Dragon parade first began in 1898 and gets bigger every year.
