The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series makes running fun. Each year, more athletes participate in Rock ‘n’ Roll running events than any other running series in the country.

What started as a simple idea in 1998 – a marathon with bands along the course at each mile, celebrating each participant – soon transformed the running landscape, igniting the second running boom.

While entertainment and the energy of a festival weekend define the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series experience, the fact that runners have raised more than $310 million for participating charities is testament to our heart and soul.

Event weekends include a world-class Health & Fitness Expo and culminate with a finish-line concert after the competition featuring the biggest names in music, with past performers including Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Pitbull, Goo Goo Dolls, All-American Rejects, Flo-Rida, Train and Lady Antebellum.
