LA Marathon 2025 Results: Men's and Women's Top Finishers

The United State's Matt Richtman and Ethiopia’s Tejinesh Tulu won the men's and women's races at the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday morning.

Richtman, who competed for the Montana State University cross country team and was an All-American selection in the 2022-23 season, clocked a time of 2:07:56, becoming the first American man to win the event since Paul Pilkington all the way back in 1994.

"I didn't really have a super big plan coming into this. It's always so tough to marathon, just because so much can happen," Richtman said after his victory, which was just his second marathon. "But really I just told myself to stay in that pack until about the halfway mark. And then if I felt good I could make a move. Ended up going a little to the lead and nobody really came with me, so I figured, let's make it honest and go for it."

While Richtman won in convincing fashion, Tulu secured her victory by just three seconds, holding off a lead pack that included Kenya's Antonina Kwambai and the United States' Savannah Berry.

Sunday's L.A. Marathon started at Dodger Stadium before heading south through Chinatown and Little Tokyo, veering into the downtown area and heading north through Echo Park and Silverlake and up Sunset Boulevard. Racers than went west through Hollywood, taking Hollywood Boulevard, before heading southwest through Beverly Hills and ending at Century City.
