Transportation and Logistics <br />
Revised traffic routing and a significantly-‐enlarged logistics effort will make access <br />
to the start line at Dodger Stadium and the finish line in Santa Monica easier and <br />
more efficient. Potential bottlenecks have been re-‐routed and dozens of additional <br />
buses have been added to bring people from the finish area in Santa Monica to <br />
Dodger Stadium in plenty of time for the early-‐morning start. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Three Dodger Stadium entrances will be devoted to the <strong>Marathon</strong> beginning at <br />
2 a.m. on March 17. Private automobiles will be allowed to enter ONLY through <br />
the Golden State Gate from the Stadium Way exit on the Golden State (5) <br />
Freeway, and will be directed to Lot 3 for complimentary parking. A specific <br />
lane at this entrance will be available for drop-‐off only, in Lot 4. <br />
A fleet of 175 shuttle buses coming from the finish area in Santa Monica will <br />
enter Dodger Stadium using the Dodger Stadium exit off of the Harbor (110) <br />
Freeway and entering the Downtown Gate, for drop-‐off in Lot 7, adjacent to <br />
the start line. These shuttles are free for registered runners who reserved their <br />
places on these buses, which will leave from Main Street between Olympic <br />
Drive and Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica between 2:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. <br />
The Academy Road and Park Avenue entrances to Dodger Stadium – favored <br />
“backdoor” routes for many – will be closed on race day. At the finish in Santa <br />
Monica, the City of Santa Monica is again offering pre-‐paid parking for <br />
participants in the City’s many lots, with more than 7,000 spaces available at <br />
$20 per day at www.ThePermitStore.com/sm/event. Beyond this, street <br />
parking will be available in Santa Monica, but based on the 2012 race <br />
experience, will be difficult to find within a mile-‐and-‐a-‐half of the finish. The <br />
City of Santa Monica has made available reserved parking in its owned lots for <br />
runners, with permits sold online at $10.00 or $20.00 for the day. <br />
