City Block Parties
In 2011, the LA Marathon will be staging City Block Parties on race day in each of the municipalities at key locations. Each City Block is a large community celebration located directly adjacent to the Marathon route providing key viewing of the race. Each City Block Party is a focal point of race day entertainment with live music, a sponsor village featuring food and beverage sampling, sponsor exhibits and sale of official Honda LA Marathon apparel, radio remotes with top Clear Channel stations and more. Each City Block Party starts at 7am and runs through 2pm providing a great location to celebrate with your friends and neighbors.

Entertainment Centers

Cheer Alley
If you love extra support near the end of the race we’ve got great news for you! Cheer Alley will be back for its 2nd year as a point of entertainment along the 2011 course! Hundreds of cheerleaders from around Southern California will rally on your behalf at Mile 18 in a cheer competition judged by Cheer LA for their overall spirit, creativity, showmanship, uniform and banner display.
