 Legacy Runners Represent the Spirit of the L.A. Marathon's 20th Edition 

The City of Los Angeles Marathon may never be the event where world records 
are broken. Its course is hilly and the weather can be hot. But does the 
agony of "challenge" bond runners? Is there such a thing as loyalty to the 
course? 

There are 289 men and women who will gather on Sunday, March 6 to 
commemorate their 20th year of running the Los Angeles Marathon. Not THE 
20th running of the Marathon...but THEIR 20th running of it. Incredible.

Among the country's other top three marathons, the Boston Marathon boasts 
only 37 runners with streaks of completing 25 or more; Chicago can count 
nine runners who have run all 27 Chicago Marathons and New York claims 
roughly a dozen have run between 15 and 20 New York Marathons in a row.

Some notable and extraordinary L.A. Marathon's alumni include: 36-year-old 
Aimee Wyatt of Glendale, the Marathon's youngest Legacy Runner, who lied 
about her age (with parental consent) to run her first L.A. Marathon at age 
16, and 81-year-old Albert Pugliese of Arizona, the L.A. Marathon's oldest 
Legacy Runner. 

Please contact Stacey Ellis or Alexis Anzalone at (310) 450-6060 or by 
email at  or  for more on 
this topic or media credentialing information.
