With this year's new L.A. Marathon route, a lot of people are going to head out Sunday and run into street closures. The map and timetable is more complex than ever — behold the detour map — but basically it's like this. The race begins at Universal City, comes down Cahuenga and Highland to reach Hollywood, then follows 6th Street into Koreatown and downtown before winding through Boyle Heights and making the big finish back downtown. The bike and 5k routes vary. Check out your neighborhood's status at LADOT's 2007 Marathon page.
