This may be old news, but World Triathlon Corp purchased the Competitor Group - that runs the Rock and Roll Marathon Series.
I'm a big fan of the Rock and Roll series, did Las Vegas and New Orleans last year.

Interesting... I wonder if that will bring changes to RnR.

I'm a fan as well. I've done Denver and want to do Savannah this year.

Competitor Group also publishes Triathlon Magazine and owns VeloPress, which publishes so many triathlon and cycling books, such as Triathlon Training Bible.

Here is a link to the changes they are making to Improve the series

Hard to argue with the Runner Experience list:
New, illuminated starting corral markers for a better start line experience
Improved visibility pacer signs
Additional SIS Gel Aid Stations for marathon and half marathon participants
Improved visibility mile markers
More porto-potties at the Start Line and on-course
New bib-tag timing technology
New mobile app with improved participant tracking
More support during and post-race for marathoners including: bananas on course and post-race marathoners zone

I've also seen that they are evaluating race locations (Discontinued Rock and Roll St. Louis), but not in the know enough to comment on any other ones.
