Check Your LA Loyal Status
The LA Loyal list is posted! This list only includes people who are registered for the 2025 Marathon as of October 15, 2024. This list will be updated on or about the 15th of the month going forward. Those who qualify for LA Loyal will not appear on this list until the 15th of the month after you registered.Â
Below you will find a link to those who who are qualified for LA Loyal in 2025 (Registered as of October 15, 2024)
We've worked hard to verify the qualification year for each LA Loyal participant to ensure that everyone who has earned this recognition gets the credit they deserve. However, the process isn't always perfect—especially when participants register with different emails, have someone else sign them up, change their name, or make a typo during registration. We have reviewed every participants historical registration, and now we need your help to make sure, once and for all, we have each person’s year correct.
On the list, linked below, we’ve assigned qualification years up to 19 consecutive years. 20 - 39 will be denoted with 20+, and our amazing Legacy Participants—those who've participated in the marathon for all 40 years—are noted with 40. If on the list....
- Your qualification year is correct, no further action is needed! Look out for more details on picking up your swag in March.
- Your qualification year is incorrect, please click here to fill out a form and let us know what's wrong and include a screenshot(s) of proof of participation for missed year(s).
- Your name does not have a year and a note saying "Contact Us - Year Discrepancy"Â please email us with "LA LOYAL - Discrepancy" in the subject line and we will let you know our question.
- Your name does not have a year and a note saying "Contact Us - 2013" We are looking to confirm if you participated in the 2013 LA Marathon. Please email us with "LA LOYAL - 2013"Â in the subject line, and if you did participate, please provide proof of your participation; if you did not, please simply tell us that.
If you've already corrected errors with us in the past and we're asking you to do it again, we apologize for the extra step. We promise this will be the last time.
We know how important your LA Loyal status and reaching milestones are to you, and we're incredibly grateful for your ongoing commitment and inspiration. We appreciate your help in ensuring the accuracy of your qualification, and we’re excited to celebrate your achievements in 2025!
