Video Heat advisory set to take effect during LA Marathon

Dr. Jordan Metzl, a sports medicine physician and marathon runner, talks about the risks and complications of running a marathon during a heat advisory.

ABC News

Interesting, they've set up a "cooling tent" section in Hollywood across from the El Capitan, looks like it's shaded and maybe set up for misting. (livestream from NBC LA). Which they are spending yapping more than showing runners. πŸ€” And they have the runners separated from the public by large fencing. what the heck πŸ€”

Must be the "cooling off" tent section is restricted to runners only.
Ah, they have a friendly crosswalk there, that's cool. Interview with a drag performer too. #LAMarathon
LOL meanwhile on the live stream "they're here! Don't worry, we're not live yet" (narrator: indeed, the mike was hot)
(now, the microphone has been stuffed into a bag and is still hot)

Aha, they have a "Finish Line" camera, first runners making it into the finish now. Looks like these folks are going to avoid the heat, at least.
