I don't know one person that gives one hopping fuck about the LA Marathon.. I sure hated the damn thing every year when I lived in LA... fucked up traffic every year so bad you were basically stuck at home marathon day.. even if you had shit to do, like go buy weed or what ever...

The Boston Marathon is arguably the best and most prestigious marathon in the world. In a city like LA, where you guys managed to lose not just one, but two football teams, it's not surprising that the LA marathon is unpopular.
Is it something us Bostonians look forward to? Maybe. I'd bet that spectator attendance would be way down if it didn't run every year on a state holiday.
It's an excuse to drink on a day off from work.
