This year’s race has drawn 14,300 entrants from age 12 to 88, from 45
nations, all 50 states, including 116 runners who have run all 36 previous
editions of the race and nearly 2,500 from Students Run LA who were unable to
participate in the training program last year because of coronavirus-related
restrictions on in-person gatherings, organizers said.
