It Takes Longer To Drive The LA Marathon Than Run It

Ok, this this is pretty much a random fact more than a bit of news. Either way, this Sunday we see the 26 mile LA marathon taking place.


The winner of this race will be hoping to achieve this in under 2 hours, which is a pretty standard time to run a marathon in.

However, some guy thought it'd be interesting to see if they could drive around the route in rush hour traffic faster than this. The answer? No.

It took him 2 hours and 2 minutes to drive around the 26 mile route. So basically, to get around LA in any sort of decent timing, you just need to be able to set a world record marathon pace.

Easy right?
