The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series started as a single race in 1998 and is
now the World's Largest Running Series that has grown to include more than
500,000 runners taking part in a global tour of 31 events in 2014.
Organized by Competitor Group, the series was the first to combine a road
race, tourist destination, recreational running, charity fundraising and
musical entertainment into a single event that celebrates health and
wellness.
The events have 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. Since the Series started in 1998, charities
have collectively raised funds in excess of $296 million (net) through the
events.

About the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series
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

the course with live bands, cheer teams and entertaining water stations,
creating a block-party atmosphere for participants and spectators alike.
Today, the series of marathons and half-marathons has spread to more than
31 destination cities, drawing visitors from around the world. Race weekend
kicks off with a free Health & Fitness Expo with more than 100 exhibitors
offering samples and showcasing the latest in running gear, sports apparel,
health and nutritional information and much more. Events culminate with an
entertaining finish line festival featuring some of the biggest names in
music, with headliners like Pitbull, FloRida, Cheap Trick and Bret
Michaels. For more information, please visit RunRocknRoll.com or
