Runners in the 2022 Los Angeles Marathon Presented by Asics will be making their way through the City of West Hollywood on Sunday, March 20, 2022 as part of a 26.2-mile Stadium to the Stars course.

Celebrating its 37th anniversary, the Los Angeles Marathon will be returning to its regularly scheduled annual March date after having been held in November 2021 due to COVID-19 pandemic delays. The Marathon course will begin, once again, at Dodger Stadium and it will conclude at Century Park in Century City, as it did last year. The portion of the route that runs through the City of West Hollywood remains unchanged.

The Los Angeles Marathon route for 2022 will guide runners westbound into the City of West Hollywood along Sunset Boulevard at Marmont Lane, just west of N. Crescent Heights Boulevard. From the Sunset Strip, runners will turn left (south) onto N. San Vicente Boulevard; then right (west) onto Santa Monica Boulevard; then left (south) onto N. Doheny Drive, where they will enter the City of Beverly Hills at Beverly Boulevard. The Marathon will run through West Hollywood between miles 14 and 15 of the course.

To ensure the safety of the large numbers of Los Angeles Marathon runners, there will be several street closures in the City of West Hollywood on Sunday, March 20, 2022 from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m.; crews will work to reopen roads to vehicle traffic as quickly as possible as the Marathon moves through the City of West Hollywood:

• Sunset Boulevard between Marmont Lane and Clark Street/N. San Vicente Boulevard (the route enters the City of West Hollywood from the City of Los Angeles west along Sunset Boulevard from Marmont Lane, just west of Crescent Heights Boulevard);

• N. San Vicente Boulevard between Sunset Boulevard and Melrose Avenue;

• Santa Monica Boulevard between La Cienega Boulevard and N. Doheny Drive;

• N. Doheny Drive between Santa Monica Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard (the route exits the City of West Hollywood to the City of Beverly Hills south along N. Doheny Drive from Beverly Boulevard).
