All photos were taken at Dodger Stadium or within the first half mile along the course. I had a prior commitment this year which only allowed me to photograph pre-race and the start. I arrived at Dodger Stadium around 4:30am (woke up at 3:20am) and left as the last few runners took off from the start line.
