Seattle’s 3rd annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon & Half-Marathon is coming up on Sat., June 25, when more than 28,000 participants are expected to run along Lake Washington through the Rainier Valley on their way from Gateway Center in Tukwila to Qwest Field in downtown Seattle.
The race benefits the American Cancer Society and was sold out by the first week in April last year.
Along each mile of the 26.2 and 13.1 mile courses, live bands will entertain the crowd while motivating runners as they push through the distance. Participants will then join friends and family to celebrate at the finish line festival, complete with a beer garden and headliner concert outside Qwest Field.
Registration is available online at Competitor.com and is on pace to sell-out quickly. Anyone planning to run the full or half-marathon is encouraged to sign up as soon as possible.
“It’s a real testament to the success of the first two years of Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle,” said Event Director Zoe Griesbach. “We’re proud to see so many runners returning each year and we hope to continue to build on the excitement surrounding the event.”
