I ran this in 2011 when it was the first year and was only a 10K it was meh. Some of the bands didnt show up to play on the course and it seemed to be poorly managed. I'm said the 10k distance is gone, but i'm glad the race has since improved (so i'm told - I will be running this year) and become a great fall NYC area half. Rock N Roll always puts on a great race!
