  • Comments: The whole business model of the Elite Racing Rock and Roll series I believe is flawed. While the bands on the course are a nice distraction, you go by them so fast and they are so far apart (approx. a mile) that you really don't get much from them. And their plan of having a "headliner" concert after the race is fine...except that they don't start it until 7:00 PM the night of the race--long after everyone who got up at 4:40 AM, and then ran 13 miles, wants to hang around.

  • Comments: Elite is by far the most organized when it comes to stagin these events. The family reunion area was in a downtown park. There was a band playing with some booths. Sprint for live results, New balance gave away recovery kits and full size towels. Crocs were there and souviners. The post race concert was Ozomatli. I thought they were OK. The set seemed a little short to me.

  • Comments: I would recommend this race. Very fun to run with the rock and roll bands alongside the course. It was well organized and we got a lot of goodies including a beach towel from New Balance.

  • Comments: I can't say enough good things about the Rock and Roll team...last year was the first san jose race and I was expecting it to be disorganized, but this group has their stuff together...So I was expecting great things this year...and was not disappointed. Very well run race. More accurate info to come as soon as it is posted.
