Sunday's Los Angeles Marathon again begins at Dodger Stadium and runs to Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. Wheelchairs take off at 6:55 a.m., hand cycles at 7 a.m., everyone else at 7:24 a.m. Most street shut-downs will be on a rolling basis. Detailed maps are on the marathon website. Freeway ramps are affected on the 110, 101 and 405 — see the closure grid here.

Cool and rainy weather is a definite possibility this year.
