San Antonio is gearing up for a significant milestone as runners prepare for the last event of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series, scheduled for December 7, 2024. This year marks the end of an era for the race, which has been a staple in the city since 1998, drawing participants from across the globe. The race director, Jennifer McMillan, expressed sentiments about the event’s conclusion, saying, ‘It’s bittersweet to see it come to an end, but we’re excited to celebrate it with the runners who’ve participated over the years.’ Event organizers have emphasized the importance of safety for all participants, especially given the unpredictable weather forecast. The San Antonio area is expected to experience rain and colder temperatures just days before the race, which could pose challenges for both runners and organizers. Additionally, traffic adjustments have been implemented to accommodate the marathon. Various roads will be closed starting Saturday, including major thoroughfares like Market Street and Navarro Street. San Antonio Police Department officials have expressed that, ‘We encourage everyone to plan their travel accordingly to avoid the closures.’ As the final runners cross the finish line, this event is anticipated to close a memorable chapter in San Antonio’s sporting history.
