As we've been saying, one of the world's best marathon events - the Rock n Roll Marathon series - is coming back to Dublin this summer. Crossing the finish line on 7 August won't be the only brilliant feeling on offer, though. We've got news today of a great competition called the Rock n Run Idol Contest that will send one lucky Rock n Roll Dublin Half Marathon runner to Las Vegas this summer for an exclusive VIP trip for two to Rock n Roll Las Vegas Marathon and Half Marathon.
Travel over to the Rock N' Roll Dublin Marathon website where you'll find info on how to register for this brilliant prize. The organisers of the race are specifically looking to hear the stories of people who are getting ready to run the race. They want to know why you'll be challenging yourself this summer, who you'll be running the race for and where you'll draw inspiration from when you embark on the big run through the streets of Dublin. The entries will be judged by camogie legend Anna Geary, editor of Irish Runner magazine Frank Greally, owner of Run Logic and Run Coach Ash Senyk and two time Rock N' Roll champion and Rio hopeful Lizzie Lee.
You can find more information on registering for the Rock n Roll Dublin Half Marathon here. There'll be a range of running events for runners of all kinds on 7 August. On top of the half marathon, there'll be an inaugural 10k this year, as well as the continuation of the popular family 4k fun run in the Phoenix Park. We've also be giving away 15 Rock N' Roll Dublin Marathon goodie bags to Balls.ie readers over the coming weeks - keep an eye on our social media channels. Best of luck to all who enter the race and enter the competition!
