  • Comments: Good race, lots of volunteers. The biggest race I've ever been a part of. Exciting, but a bit impersonal at the same time. A bit corporate, but of course it is, it's the Rock and Roll series. Overall a fun experience though.

  • Comments: It is amazing what they can pull off with 30,000 runners. They had a small glitch with the transporting of runners that delayed the start, but it other than that this event was great. It seemed like they didn't have enough bands playing, but this was my first rock n roll race so maybe this was normal.

  • Comments: Love this race, although I noticed that the end of race food selection was not as good as past years. Not sure if it is the economy, or that the race folks are starting to cut back a little with all the races that then now run.

  • Comments: I had a great time with this race. Being from out of town I was a little concerned with logistics. From the expo to the shuttle to the start to the finish I was happy with everything. It was a lot more organized than RNR Chicago is. The only thing they could possibly do better would be to have more traffic cops directing cars out of the lot after the race. It was a little hectic in the parking lot. Overall, I would come back and do this race again. I had a great time and the weather was perfect.

  • Comments: The only thing I didn't like about the race is the part of the course where you run down McDowell Rd FOREVER! It got really boring to me, I was seriously thinking can we turn soon, please? Otherwise Rock N Roll always puts on a really good show.

  • Comments: Great race. Next year I'd like to run with the 1:52:00 pace group. I think a 5 minute PR would be great. Maybe if I can improve on my run this year I can come in even faster.

  • Comments: I was so happy to share this day with so many friends. I still feel great post race, and am enjoying a few days with a little slower moving. I have a blister on my right second toe, but other than that, my foot (the right one that had surgery) is feeling awesome. I have been on my feet all day at work, and still the foot feels great. I learned a lot this race about fueling as it all came together for me. I learned that starting a couple of days BEFORE the race sure can make a difference. I also learned to not be afraid to do both – they electrolyte AND the water at each aid station. But now, I am soooo ready to get on back to some speed work and get to running for that Half in May!!

  • Comments: I ran the Country Music Half last year and I really enjoyed the bands. This race I didn't really feel the same. I'll probably run the new Rock N Roll Chicago half in the summer.
