          American Marathon Record Holder and Two-time Olympian 
                      Ryan Hall Leads Elite Field

30th Anniversary of Los Angeles' Premier Endurance Event Also Serves as 
2015 USA Track & Field Marathon Championships

LOS ANGELES (March 4, 2015) - Universal Sports Network, the year-round 
destination for Olympic, endurance and action sports, will air the 2015 
ASICS LA Marathon next Sunday, March 14, at 3 p.m. ET. The network's 
national TV coverage will showcase the 26.2-mile race which features 25,000 
runners traversing the "Stadium to the Sea" course from Dodger Stadium to 
the Pacific Ocean. 

The 30th edition of the ASICS LA Marathon will also serve as the 2015 USA 
Track & Field Marathon Championships, and will feature a robust line-up of 
61 American elites vying for a national title. Many of those Americans 
competing in the 2015 USATF Marathon Championships will gain experience in 
Los Angeles before returning to the city for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials 
Marathon for the Rio Summer Games on February 13, 2016. 

Highlighting the largest-ever men's and women's professional field in the 
history of the 2015 ASICS LA Marathon are husband and wife distance runners 
Ryan and Sara Hall. Ryan Hall, a two-time Olympian and American record 
holder in the marathon with a time of 2:04:58, last competed at the 2014 
Boston Marathon where he finished in 20th place. Sarah Hall was the 2012 
U.S. Cross Country Champion and will be making her marathon debut.

"We are thrilled to return as the official national broadcaster for the 
ASICS LA Marathon," said Robert James, SVP, content and communications of 
Universal Sports Network. "With the U.S. marathon championships on the line 
and a preview of next year's Olympic trials, the 30th edition of the race 
offers compelling action for fans and those who compete in endurance 
sports."
