If you are considering a rock n roll marathon or half, there is a $20 discount on some of the races today only until 11:59 PM PST.
Tomorrow is a "Lucky 13" discount day for some of those marathons and half-marathons.
Saves you a few bucks.

Bad races
Bad philosophy
Bad direction
I just don't like anything about the company and what they have done to some wonderful races around the US. Unfortunately, I just don't have the energy to go into everything right now, so I'll just throw a couple links here for you.

The also destroyed the running community that existed at Cool Running that I was a part of when they took it over and totally destroyed the forums with horrible, bug riddled software and then imposed their form of "moderation" on the forums without even trying to understand who the audience was.
They are also, almost single-handedly, responsible for the near doubling in price of every major marathon in the US as they drove their prices up with bands and a bunch of other garbage we don't need and all the other marathons had to add crap to keep pace and therefore had to raise their prices as well.
I will not ever run a race put on by them. Never.0
