Downtown Rocks Out
After a surge in sign-ups following the Boston bombings, the 16th annual Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon on June 2 will bring in more than 30,000 runners and 100,000 spectators. Both the marathon and half-marathon routes still wind through neighborhoods like North Park and Mission Hills, but this year the finish line will be at Petco Park. (Translation: No more post-race shuttle stress, thanks to the trolley, and—fingers crossed—easier parking.) As always, proceeds benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and bands will keep runners pumped at every mile. The Psychedelic Furs will headline the finish-line concert. Who’s ready to rock?
