Abstract: We calculate the running of the three coupling constants in cosmological, topologically massive 3d gravity. We find that

u, the dimensionless coefficient of the Chern-Simons term, has vanishing beta function. The flow of the cosmological constant and Newton's constant depends on u, and for any positive

u there exist both a trivial and a nontrivial fixed point.
