    Seems like most the winners from the race, lately, have been from Africa. If this is a money making event, maybe Cerritos should hold a marathon too. City of La Palma hold a small marathon, so does city of Long Beach, time the city should get involved, hosted by the famous Cerritos Auto Mall; time the mall give back to the community, since in 2015, sold over 61,000 cars, selling more cars then compared to 1993.

    Weldon Kirui of Kenya crossed the finish line first at 2:13:08 (unofficial) to win the L.A. Marathon. Kenya finished 1-2 as Willy Koitile crossed second about 15 seconds after Kirui. Ukranian Nataliya Lehonkova crossed the finish line at 2:30:39, her personal best to win the women’s L.A. Marathon.Stay tuned for some Valentine’s Day weddings along the route
