Seeded Corrals Close January 15th |
All corral requests must be submitted by January 15!
Seeded Start Corrals A, B, C are secure start areas designed to offer a quicker and smoother start for all qualified runners. Assignment to Seeded Start Corrals is based on a submitted qualifying time run in a Marathon after July 1, 2010 and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Corral A = Sub - 3 hour
Corral B = Sub - 4 hour
Corral C = Sub - 5 hour
How do I apply to be in a Seeded Corral? To submit application for placement in Corrals A, B, or C, enter the race name, date, and qualifying time in the appropriate location with your online entry and the marathon office will verify authenticity. It is your responsibility to check final verification through the Registration Confirmation link (see below). If you run a faster marathon after registering for the 2012 Honda LA Marathon or if you missed the corral section on the online registration, you must submit proof of your finish in the form of a race result certificate or race result page from a marathon before January 15. Website links will not be accepted as proof of qualifying. You can send proof of this finish to 213.542.3020 (fax) or info@lamarathon.com. Confirm your corral placement: here. (Registration database is updated every Monday.) Start Corrals FAQs: click here.
