FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

        SKECHERS PERFORMANCE LOS ANGELES MARATHON HIRES MATT TURNBULL
                           AS PRO ATHLETE COORDINATOR

LOS ANGELES (July 27, 2016) - Conqur Endurance Group, the organizer of the 
Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon, today announced the hiring of 
Matt Turnbull as Pro Athlete Coordinator. 

Matt Turnbull has acted as Pro Coordinator for such companies as Competitor 
Group, producer of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series & Carlsbad 5000, and 
Nova International, a premiere running event producer in the U.K. Turnbull 
got into the business by volunteering to work at the Great North Run as a 
13 year-old. After graduating from university, Matt got a job with the 
event and eventually was recommended by Olympic Silver Medalist Peter 
Elliot to succeed him as the event's Pro Athlete Coordinator. 

"I'm excited to have the opportunity to join the Skechers Performance Los 
Angeles Marathon as the Pro Athlete Coordinator," said Matt Turnbull. "This 
race is one of the most popular marathons in the U.S. with a long, and 
impressive history. I really look forward to elevating the international 
profile of the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon by engaging some 
of the world's prominent professional runners and delivering world-class 
racing to the delight of both spectators and broadcast viewers."

Over the last two years, the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon pro 
program was restructured to accommodate Conqur Endurance Group's hosting of 
the 2015 USATF National Marathon Championships and the 2016 United States 
Olympic Trials Marathon. "Hosting these events further leverages the 
opportunity to reimagine our pro program and direction," said Murphy 
Reinschreiber, Vice President of Operations for Conqur Endurance Group. 
"While the Los Angeles Marathon has a long history of competitive and 
exciting pro racing, we have the flexibility to develop our pro program 
along lines that aren't laser-focused exclusively on winning times. We want 
our pro program to produce fast times and connect to our age group 
athletes, media and our diverse Los Angeles communities. We're excited to 
have Matt on-board to help us bring that together."

Pro athletes interested in competing in the 2017 Skechers Performance Los 
Angeles Marathon can contact Matt at .

Conqur Endurance Group, a subsidiary of McCourt Broderick, creates 
world-class experiences that ignite passion in athletes and connect 
communities through the transformative power of sport. The Skechers 
Performance Los Angeles Marathon is among the largest marathons in the 
country with more than 25,000 participants, thousands of volunteers and 
hundreds of thousands of spectators. The "Stadium to the Sea" course,

of the most scenic in the world, taking runners on a tour of Los Angeles 
past every major landmark. In addition to the marquee event, Conqur 
Endurance Group produces the Santa Monica Classic 5K/10K, the LA BIG 5K and 
recently added the Pasadena Half Marathon & 5K at the Rose Bowl, with the
