Rock 'n' Roll Run Around the City

The first ever SunTrust Rock 'n' Roll USA Marathon and CareFirst Rock 'n' Roll USA Half Marathon brought out 24,000 festively clad runners and walkers from all 50 states and 34 countries on St. Patrick's Day. Previously known as the National Marathon (the only marathon run entirely within Washington, D.C.), the event has been rebranded as part of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series.
