Subject: 2013 LOS ANGELES MARATHON ANNUAL REPORT

At its meeting of September 19, 2008, the City Council approved an amendment to the Los Angeles Marathon Contract which provides for the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to establish an Ad Hoc Committee to be jointly chaired with the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), with the Mayor as an ex-officio member. The purpose of the Ad Hoc Committee is to meet with the Los Angeles Marathon organizer, Los Angeles Marathon, Inc. (LAM), to discuss issues and resolve potential problems concerning upcoming Los Angeles Marathon events. The City Council also instructed the Ad Hoc Committee to prepare and submit a "pre-race" progress report to the Council relative to the implementation of the race. Furthermore, Council instructed the Ad Hoc Committee to submit an annual report to the Budget and Finance Committee, which provides an assessment of the success of the event and areas requiring improvement.

The pre-race progress report for the 2013 Marathon was transmitted to Council on March 8, 2013 (C.F. 12-0257). Attached is the annual report prepared by LAM for the 2013 Marathon, which was on March 17, 2013. The departments involved in supporting the 2013 Marathon also reported that there were no major incidents. In 2013, the 5K Run sold out for the first time in race history and the Marathon sold out for the second time in race history. The table below provides a comparison of pertinent information on the 2013 Marathon and 2012 Marathon.
