The Los Angeles Marathon returns this Sunday, March 19, with a course from Dodger Stadium to Century City – see the above map. As per usual, many Metro bus lines will be disrupted from 3 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday along the marathon route. Here are the lines that will be on detour:  

2, 4, 10/48, 14/37, 16,18, 20, 28, 30, 33, 40, 45, 53, 55, 60, 62, 70, 76, 78, 81, 90, 92, 94, 96, 105, 106, 180, 182, 204, 206, 207, 210, 212, 217, 218, 222, 224 (Owl), 233 (Owl), 460, 602, 603, 617, 720, 754, 761, 854 & 910/950

For more on bus detours please see below or check Metro’s Service Advisories page. If you’re taking transit to the marathon and want to avoid delays, consider Metro Rail when possible. We suggest riding the B (Red) Line to either the Hollywood/Western or Hollywood/Vine station as a way to avoid street closures in the downtown-to-Hollywood corridor. 

Be sure to load a TAP card ahead of time with $3.50 round trip fare in Stored Value. Each person must have their own TAP card, which can be purchased at any Metro Rail Station for $2. Check the Transit App for schedule details and allow extra time to complete your trip.

Pre-race shuttles for participants are also available from Union Station to the Start Line at Dodger Stadium. Shuttles will depart from Bay 9 at Patsaouras Bus Plaza. Shuttles will depart from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. on race day. Please note: there is no shuttle transportation from the Finish Line to Union Station after the race. All the detours are below:
