Los Angeles

Los Angeles sprawls across low-lying coastal plain and inland basins with minimal elevation — the LA Marathon follows a flat 42km route from Dodger Stadium to Santa Monica, and criterium racing dominates the cycling calendar, with events like the CBR Carson Criterium and CBR Dominguez Hills Criterium drawing fast local fields. Runners find consistency in year-round mild weather but must navigate traffic and distance; serious cyclists either compete in tight criterium loops or head inland to the San Gabriel Mountains (30–50km away) for climbing, where elevations reach 1200m.
