New L.A. Marathon Creative Director Peter Abraham Is Overseeing the Race's Shift From Winter to Spring

L.A. Marathon creative director Peter Abraham

FROM LOS ANGELES As creative director of the Los Angeles Marathon, Peter Abraham is responsible for outreach, marketing, and conceiving the overall concept of the event—which is undergoing a complete overhaul ahead of the May 25 race. With the marathon under new ownership—LA Marathon LLC, formerly known as Going the Distance, now operates the race—it's Abraham's first go at overseeing the program.

This year's race will be run on Memorial Day, May 25, rather than President's Day, February 16. What was behind the date change?
We came in with new ownership, and we’ve really looked at every single aspect of the marathon. We’ve changed the course from last year: We went back to the loop route that starts in downtown, which was last run in 2006. It’s a very fast route, very popular with runners. MORE >>

Cycle World Exhibitors Simplify Displays

With plenty of polished chrome, a strong aroma of leather, and vehicular eye candy galore, media company Advanstar Communications brought the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center this past weekend as part of a 13-city nationwide tour. In its 28th season, the show debuts the latest street and dirt bikes, helmets, and accessories from 85 exhibitors, with 700 cycles on the floor. Sponsored by industry magazine Cycle World, this year’s show was presented by Toyota, with displays supplied by cycle manufacturers and local dealers.

With a nod to the state of the economy, there were subtle changes from previous shows. “The biggest obstacle for a promoter like me is that our exhibitors are watching their money more closely than in the past. They even went online and booked hotels in the suburbs [instead of downtown],” said Advanstar director of operations Leah Stevens.
