For the last 11 years, the City of Beverly Hills has participated in the Los Angeles Marathon, the 26.2 mile race that traverses L.A. and draws tens of thousands of participants. But in none of those 11 years was the City in the grips of a pandemic.
At the Oct. 28 Rodeo Drive Committee/Special Events City Council Liaison meeting, the committee considered a request for assistance for next year’s L.A. Marathon. The McCourt Foundation (TMF), the nonprofit in charge of the race, hopes to bring the route through Beverly Hills, with a new finish line in Century City. Representatives of the organization presented their plans to keep racers and observers safe, including potential vaccination requirements for participants.
