The 30th annual Los Angels Marathon kicked off early Sunday morning. In spite of the record-breaking heat, which hit over 30 Celsius degrees, more than 26,000 participants from 55 countries took part in the race. 

This year, the LA marathon adopted a new course, named "From Stadium to the Sea", which stretches from Dodger Stadium to Santa Monica Pier. Daniel Limo from Kenya won the first place for men with 2 hour 10 minutes and 35 seconds, and Ogla Kimaiyo, also from Kenya, won women's race with 2 hours 34 minutes and 10 seconds.
