This was my first experience with the Rock and Roll franchise. I'm a big rock fan, so it's always been something I wanted to try out. This year my wife and I decided to give it a try for our first official Racecation.

Registration:
The registration was done online per usual, and we caught a deal on price, so it was very affordable.

Packet Pickup/Expo:
The pickup was simple as could be, and we got right through. The expo was by far the largest I had been to, and we were able to find multiple items to spend money on (and we did)!

Parking:
The race was held downtown of a big city...parking isn't great. We were staying in a hotel near the start and finish lines, so we were able to walk to and from.

The Race: With lots of runners there was a staggered corral start. It was ran very well. The course starts by running towards the Arch as the suns comes up, which is a wonderful sight. We then passed by the Cardinals stadium and weaved downtown. There were bands/music spread throughout the course for varying entertainment. There were plenty of hills along the course, but plenty going back down as well. My only complaint about the course was that a section of it was out and back, so you repeated the same street.

Swag:
We received a standard tech shirt, though i wasn't crazy about the the color. The finishers medal was very nice.

Race Management:
Everything about this race seemed to be very well organized. I have no complaints.

Overall:
I would highly recommend a RnR run to anyone. It is loads of fun and great support.
