Predictions for the Atheltics & Para Atheltics Marathon routes?

Before year's end, we're supposed to receive the routes for Atheltics Marathon (finish location too), Race Walk (rumored to be Grand Park), and Para Athletics Marathon, so in the meantime lets have fun by predicting/guessing!

For any fellow Angelinos here, where do you guys want/predict the Atheltics Marathon finish to be at, and what route would it take? Para Atheltics now has a confirmed finish at Memorial Coliseum so only question is what route should it take?

Personally, I would love for Atheltics Marathon, if the finish location were to be the same as Para Atheltics at the Memorial Coliseum, to have a "Hollywood" route that passes through SaMo, Westside, Beverly Hills, Sunset Strip, Hollywood, Echo Park and DTLA, while Para Atheltics Marathon either uses an "Inglewood" route that passes thru Marina Del Ray, Culver City, Playa, Westchester, Inglewood, Crenshaw, and MLK or follows a similar route that the 1984 marathon took. Vise versa works for me as well.

“I play to become stronger.” Palestinian children who lost limbs in Israel’s war on Gaza are training in football for a chance to play and compete on the pitch at Abdul Rahman School in Gaza City.

Seated Shotput

I hope I'm in the right community for this question.

My son has the opportunity to participate in high school track and field this year. He is in a wheelchair and typically participated in Special Olympics, but the track coach learned of the wheelchair division in our state.

One of the events he can participate in is the seated shotput. I've seen places where you can purchase the seat, but it seems like it could be something easily built by someone who knows how to weld.

For those familiar, what have you seen done in this regard?
