I have done two rock n' roll half marathons. The second one was a bit of a disaster organization wise (Las Vegas December 4th) but regardless, I am looking ahead to 2012 and want to incorporate one or two of the RNR half marathons into my race plan ~ just not sure that Vegas will make the cut into that plan a if they plan on having 44,000+ people running it again.

I am thinking Chicago July 22 or Virgina Beach labor day weekend. Any other RNR runners? Where are you running? :smile:

    Virginia Beach labor day weekend would fit in my running schedule for 2012 about perfect. Take a nice long weekend, go down to Virginia Beach, and rock out a 1/2 for labor day. Yep, sounds good!

    I did the half in Seattle. It was OK but the start of the race was really not managed well. I'm signed up for Portland OR. But really not a series I have a lot of interest in. I'm bothered it advertises as a charity race and the majority of money doesn't do to charity.

    I just ran RnR Arizona. Awesome race if you ever get a chance to do it. The course takes you through Tempe, Scottsdale, and Phoenix. I am signed up for RnR Dallas in March. I am also considering doing RnR Portland and Seattle but not sure if it is feasible.

    My first half will be RnR New Orleans in March. I think it's estimated at 16,000 participants?

    I'm running Fargo for the 3rd year in a row. There is a reason its one of runner's world top ten races every year. Great race flat and fast. Plus cheap to run.

    Chicago was really amazing. I did it in 2010 and was really impressed. I would highly recommend it, but be aware... when the course wraps back going north around mile 11, it goes onto the lakefront path, and it can get very crowded. It's an absolutely beautiful course, but I did have to run some of it off to the side in the grass. Even with that - DO CHICAGO! Good luck.

    I will be doing the RNR Philly in september. It is my first race and I am really excited. My husband will mostlikely be doing it with me.
    Several miles of the course are along the river and absolutly beautiful. There is several miles of pathway you can train on. I plan on doing some of my conditioning down there.

    Cowgirlslikeu I will probably be in Philly also. My friend did it last year and loved the course. I am about an hour from the city and I agree it is gorgeous there along the river. Can not wait for it!

    I like scenic runs, though the first half is city streets, the second half is park/river scenery.
