• Comments: A fantastic experience. My first time at a large scale marathon event and overall I really enjoyed everything about this race, from the packet pickup at the expo to crossing the line! The Rock 'N Roll series is clearly a big time event and it was amazing to soak up the atmosphere. As a participant I really felt like a rockstar. Part of that, of course, involves some hassle in terms of logistics, and as much as I love Seattle, driving down there is insane at the best of times, least of all when half the roads are shut down! Next time I'm getting a hotel and making a weekend of it...even though I only live an hour away. But, I absolutely will do this event again. There was a buzz about the whole thing from the expo, to the bands, the volunteers, to the 20,000+ of my closest running friends on the day. I will almost certainly seek out RnR events in other cities.
