Organized by Competitor Group, the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series is the
'World's Largest Running Series' with more than 500,000 runners taking part
in destination events around the world. What started as a simple idea in
1998 — the idea of making running fun — soon transformed the U.S. running
landscape by infusing the race course with live bands, cheer teams, themed
water stations and then topping the experience off with a finish line
concert celebration for all participants. The outdoor festivals encapsulate
cities in their entirety and have spearheaded an active lifestyle movement
that provides a unique entertainment outlet for people from all walks of
life.
The events have also become a fundraising powerhouse for charities who have
developed endurance-training programs, such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the ASPCA and Crohn's &
Colitis Foundation of America, who have combined to raise in excess of $287
million (net) through the series since 1998.
Today, the series of entertainment themed marathons and half-marathons has
spread to 32 cities around the world and continues to enjoy great appeal
for the traveling runner, tremendous local support and has firmly
established itself as a dynamic active lifestyle platform. For more
