Love is in the air: Los Angeles Marathon offers mid-race weddings
Sunday's Los Angeles Marathon is adding a romantic spin to its 42.2K event by offering couples the option of a mid-race wedding.
Since the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon falls on Valentine’s Day this Sunday, it’s only appropriate that the race incorporates romance along the route of the course.
According to ESPN, a justice of the peace will be on location at mile 10 (approximately 16 kilometres into the race) to perform wedding ceremonies and renew vows.
