The San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon started in 1998 in San Diego, its official birthplace. It drew hundreds of people to run through the streets of San Diego with fun musical performances throughout the course. The Rock ‘n’ Roll franchise expanded from San Diego to other parts of the country, and eventually internationally. Today the event is hosted in 18 cities around the world, including Madrid, Spain and Liverpool, England.
This year, the Heineken 0.0 Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series San Diego took place on Sunday, Oct. 24, bringing together athletes from all over the world, as well as locals.
