Notes: In 1997 Nadezhda Ilyina (RUS) crossed the finish line first, but was disqualified for cutting the course. The 2004-2016 races have had a separate early start for the elite women as a "challenge"
for the first man or woman to cross the finish line. The women's winners
listed are for the elite start. The 2016 race was held in February in conjunction with US Olympic Trials weekend. In 2007 the race changed from a loop to a point-to-point course, starting at Universal City and finishing in downtown Los Angeles. In 2009 the course returned to a loop route. From 2010 a "Stadium to the Sea" course has been used, starting at Dodger Stadium and finishing at Santa Monica. The race is currently known as Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon.
