FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
                 OLYMPIC MEDALIST ROD DIXON AND
                 ULTRA-MARATHONER DEAN KARNAZES
              HIGHLIGHT RUN/EX/09 OPENING SATURDAY

LOS ANGELES, California, May 21, 2009 – One of the largest racing 
expositions in the world, the Los Angeles Marathon's Run/Ex/09 will take 
place on Saturday and Sunday, March 23-24 in the South Hall of the Los 
Angeles Convention Center.

More than 150 exhibitors will offer innovative demonstrations and 
state-of-the-art products and services on running, health, fitness and 
lifestyle improvement in more than four acres of floor space over the two 
days. Admission is free, with the exposition open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on 
Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Highlighting the two-day program are presentations on the Whole Foods 
Market Stage by the Goodwill Ambassador of the Los Angeles Marathon, Rod 
Dixon, the 1972 Olympic 1,500-meter bronze medalist and himself a champion 
marathoner, who will offer insights on both Saturday and Sunday on race-day 
motivation and the 2009 Los Angeles Marathon route. Ultra-marathoner Dean 
Karnazes will speak at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday after having run 100 miles to 
the Convention Center from Santa Barbara in the preceding 24 hours!

Run/Ex/09 is the final opportunity for runners and cyclists to register for 
the Los Angeles Marathon and ACURA LA Bike Tour, respectively. There will 
be no race-day registration for those events. Registration will also be 
available for the LA 5K Run/Walk, although there will be race-day 
registration available for that event.

Of special note is the Springfield Kids Corner, an area where young and old 
alike can decorate cheer cards for their parents, aunts, uncles, friends 
and others who will run in the Marathon. Plus, a lively seminar program 
covers important topics for those who will run the Marathon on Monday...
