Bandit LA x Long Distance: Mile 7 Cheer Zone

Bandit LA and Long Distance set up a lively cheer zone right around mile 7 of the Los Angeles Marathon, turning race morning into a mini block party for spectators and early risers. Doors open at 6:30 a.m., with Picnic coffee, breakfast, a DJ, and all-morning “vibes” from the crews running through late morning—perfect for catching runners as the course rolls by.

Good to know:

• Doors: 6:30 a.m.; coffee/breakfast/DJ run roughly 6:30–11:30 a.m.
• The cheer zone is positioned at mile 7, so runners pass through mid-race rather than at the start/finish
• Plan for an early arrival to grab coffee and a good curbside spot
