Put your running shoes and guitars away. The Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon has been cancelled.
The organization notified Seattle participants of the cancellation in an email Wednesday, citing constraints with “local law enforcement resources and the strain any additional events could have in negatively affecting the community.”
The next Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in Seattle is slated for June 12, 2022.

Other Rock ‘n’ Roll events are currently scheduled to be held this year in Virginia Beach, Virginia; San Jose, California; San Diego; Savannah, Georgia; San Antonio; Nashville, Tennessee; and Washington, D.C.
