Rock ‘n’ Roll Series Adds Elite Half Marathon Series

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series will launch an elite half marathon series that will be staged in 2022 and 2023 across eight North America Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series events.

Each of the designated events will offer a prize purse awarded to the top three male and female elite finishers, as well as points towards the Elite Beat Rankings, which earn participants the opportunity to compete for a bonus pool in the grand finale.

The new series will launch at the 2022 Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Las Vegas on February 26–27 and will finish with a grand finale at the same event in 2023.

“We are excited our running events are back and to kick off this elite running series beneath the Las Vegas lights of our pinnacle event this February,” said Elizabeth O’Brien, managing director of North America for The Ironman Group, owners of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series. “With the surge in talented runners, we know there’s a crop of gifted athletes who will stand to gain a lot by competing in this new elite level competition across the Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series.
