Welcome to the one marathon you won’t want to end. A race so rock ‘n’ roll, the
mile markers are rock bands. Because what’s the point of running if you just want
it to end? Here, you might not break the tape, but the podium isn’t the point. Life is
a journey and running should be a celebration.

art DistriCtThe Dallas Arts District is the largest arts district in the nation, spanning 68 acres and 19 contiguous blocks. The district is comprised of museums, performance halls, corporate offi ces, residences, restaurants, churches and even a school. The Arts District has been a 30-year plan in the making and now boasts buildings by four Pritzker Prize-winning architects within a span of several blocks. The district’s architectural richness extends beyond that, however, with examples of historical buildings erected as far back as the late 1880s, just 40 years after Dallas’ founding.

DowntownAt the heart of Dallas is the downtown area, with its growing nightlife and historic shopping and hotels. Visitors can stay at the historic Magnolia Hotel, the previous headquarters for Exxon-Mobil oil converted into lodging that harks back to its 1920s heritage.

Headliner Concert
Hutchinson has received acclaim as a pianist, songwriter, and performer. He has been called “one of the most talented singer-songwriters that Boston has to off er,” Hutchinson’s music is a combination of rock, folk pop, and powerpop. It has been called “intelligent pop” with “painstakingly placed lyrics, brimming with sarcasm and wit,” and “sunshine pop” with “feel-good playfulness” and a “plucky demeanor.”
Born in Washington, D.C., Hutchinson grew up in Takoma Park, Maryland and attended Emerson College in Boston. Hutchinson began playing guitar around 1995, and later added piano to his repertoire. When on acoustic guitar, he plays with exuberance, often laying down percussive hand slaps on the strings.
Hutchinson released his most recent album, Pulp Fiction in April 2014. It’s hard to not feel good while listening to the new Eric Hutchinson record. It is a very satisfying experience; the joys of melody and counter-melody and a myriad of rhythms from across the globe, as each song manages to refl ect a pleasing sense that it is possible to remain transfi xed in that nanosecond of pure bliss.

Respect the Distance
For many of you, this will be your � rst marathon or half marathon. Whether this is your � rst or � ftieth race, congratulations on your commitment to � tness and a healthy lifestyle! Whether you choose to run, walk or just rock, the following tips will help to ensure you have a fun and safe Rock ‘n’ Roll experience.
TRAIN
It’s too late to start now, but you need to respect the distance
you’ve chosen to walk or run. There are many diff erent training
programs available to you. Be sure you chose one that had you complete at least 2/3 of the race
distance several times during your training period. If not,
slow down and participate at a comfortable pace.
HYDRATE
If you have not calculated your fl uid needs for this race, there are two strategies which will ensure
you don’t under or over-hydrate. The easiest is to only drink when you are thirsty. If you want to be a little more scientifi c, limit fl uid
intake to 4-8 oz of sports drink every 20 minutes.
SALT
Losing salt through sweating and complex hormone changes
during exercise can result in lowering your serum [blood]
sodium level. This will not only aff ect your performance, it
may lead to muscle cramping, headache, dizziness and
confusion. Have some sports drink along the course to
quench your thirst, or follow your pre-planned schedule.
PLEASE
Fill out the medical information section on the back of your bib number. While serious medical
problems are quite rare, knowing any medical problems you have,
medications you are taking or allergies to medications is
extremely helpful to our Medical Volunteers. Our goal is to treat all
of our athletes like Rock Stars.
If you have questions, stop by the Rock ‘n’ Roll Sports Medicine Team booth at the Expo or visit one of our Medical Tents on race day.We would be happy to assist you. Have fun, be smart, and stay within your limits. In other words, Rock On…
