The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon is back! With 20,000+ runners and 100,000 spectators, MTS is encouraging attendees to take the Trolley to avoid congestion.
Head to the San Diego Convention Center (using the Sycuan Green Line) to check out the Health and Fitness Expo on Friday and Saturday, and then boogie over to 6th and Quince in Balboa Park from the County Center/Little Italy Station to the start line on Sunday. The Little Italy/County Center Station is also just steps from the away from the finish line and festivities at Waterfront Park.
