The Rock N Roll Team always puts on a fun, super popular racing event and this years race was no different. You have to be prepared for the crowds and lots and lots of people. The race started on Mill and University, but we had to park and walk from over by Sun Devil Stadium, which was a good 25 minute walk. Combine that with about 30 minutes to get off the freeway and get to the parking area and then another 45 minutes spent in line waiting to use a port o potty, my best advice would be to GET THERE EARLY!!

There were a ton of corrals and the pacers were easy to spot. There were actually 2 different pacers for the 2 hour mark. The course started in Tempe on Mill, took us by ASU, down to Scottsdale and up through the Papago. The hill on McDowell was probably the worst, but once you made to through up that you got to turn around and come down and through a really pretty area by the Zoo, to the finish line at Tempe Beach Park.

The bling and expo were all top notch, as expected from a rock n roll race!! You come away with so much swag and prestige that it makes you want to do it all over again!
