The annual LA Marathon is this weekend again.
Similar to the last few years, the course runs from Dodger Stadium down to the sea in Santa Monica.
With so many entities involving, there should good deal of radio activity for much of the day.
As in past years the following agencies likely will be active:
LAPD – several bureau/citywide tacs
LAFD - Multiple tac
LA City - DOT, Street Services, and General services active on 800Mhz trunked systems
LACo Sheriff – likely mix of C-Tac, A-Tac’s and Mutual Aid channels
LACo Fire - both UHF and VHF tacs
West Hollywood – Public works
Beverly Hills PD
Beverly Hills Fire
Beverly Hills Public Works & EOC
Santa Monica Police (previously they have removed encryption on one of their channels)
Santa Monica Fire
Santa Monica public works
ICIS might again lend the marathon organizers a TG for course communication.
Also Air to Air - 123.025 - normally a chopper with callsign "marathon 1" is used
Previously years have also found organizers using media channels 450.xxx for coordination.
The course map can be viewed at:
