Our topics:
1. It ASICS LA Marathon this year will mark its 41st edition.
2. ASICS: I believe the race has taken over as a sponsor in 2019 and they have done a great job on this great event.
3. Back in the early 1990s, Fred LeBow, the late, great New York marathon impresario, told me that: The LA Marathon should be awesome!! I believe it has been mentioned in major magazines.
4. The LA Marathon had seven ownership groups before it took root. Bill Burke and Marie Patrick, the mercurial team that also ran the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic tennis games, ran the marathon for two-plus decades. with some colorful sides. The McCourt Foundation took over the marathon nearly a decade ago, and ASICS relaunched around 2019.
5. To learn more about this race, which I ran in 1987 during its inaugural run, a couple ASICS GEL Kayanos, I believe (in 3:51, my PB at the time was 2:48.12), go www.lamarathon.com
