How to Get to the UCLA Camp Fair During the LA Marathon

​Families heading to the UCLA Camp Fair at Pauley Pavilion this Sunday from Noon–3 PM may be wondering if LA Marathon road closures will affect getting to the event.

Don't worry! There are still several easy routes to get to UCLA, enjoy the camp fair, and find a great summer camp for your kids.

Los Angeles will be buzzing this Sunday with the LA Marathon, which means temporary road closures in parts of the city. The good news: families heading to the L.A. Camp Fair at UCLA (Noon–3 PM) can still get there easily with a few simple route choices.

Quick tip: Approaching UCLA from the north (Sunset Blvd) or from the 405 is usually the easiest plan. Try to avoid routes that rely on Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica Blvd, or the Century City finish area.

What to expect

Most marathon impacts are concentrated along the race route and near the finish area in Century City. UCLA sits north of many of the most affected streets, so the main issue for most families is extra traffic and occasional confusion, not a complete inability to reach campus.

Best routes to UCLA (Pauley Pavilion)

• From the Valley (Encino/Sherman Oaks) or anywhere on the 405: Take the 405 to Sunset Blvd, then follow Sunset toward UCLA and enter via Westwood Plaza.
• From Brentwood / Pacific Palisades: Take Sunset Blvd east and enter UCLA via Westwood Plaza.
• From Beverly Hills / Hollywood: Avoid Wilshire and use Beverly Glen Blvd to reach Sunset Blvd, then enter campus from Sunset/Westwood Plaza.

Routes to avoid

• Wilshire Blvd (especially near Westwood/Century City)
• Santa Monica Blvd (especially near Century City)
• Driving through Century City during peak finish-line activity
