[11/12/20]   #RnRSanAntonio UPDATE:

In meetings leading up to the event, the regional safety and health authorities were satisfied that Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series proposed health and safety measures were well designed, and that participants, staff and the wider public would have been sufficiently protected from potential COVID-19 transmission. However, after further conversations with city and health officials following a recent increase in cases across the greater San Antonio region, we regret to share that the event cannot take place in 2020 and will now return on December 4-5, 2021.

All registered participants of the 2020 Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon & ½ Marathon will be receiving an email with further details. If you have additional questions or do not receive the email with further information, please contact [email protected].

While we are prevented from holding the event in 2020, we thank our participants for their commitment and look forward to providing them with an exceptional race experience in the future.

The words Kara speaks about grief is spot on.
She recently lost her Grandfather who was basically her Father to covid.

What a ride it has been. The past two weeks since my grandfather’s diagnosis of Covid-19 have been a rollercoaster of shock, fear, hope, devastation, desperation, and then a guilt filled relief. Now the grief sets in. As I ran along today, I ran hard- pushing my body. I wanted to feel pain anywhere but my heart, I wanted to feel my lungs burn and my muscles ache. But even as I pushed along the grief was there, bubbling up, choking me as I ran.

Grief is a journey you never overcome, that will never go away. As I ran along I thought of so many families who have lost loved ones to covid, to cancer, to accidents, to life. So much grief. So much sadness.

But I did have a thought that brought some waves of healing over my heart. To feel grief meant you truly loved. You gave and received love. You opened your heart in a way that made it vulnerable. It means that you were blessed, lucky to have this life in yours that brought so much to your life that now, without them, you feel darkness you could never have imagined. And in a way that is beautiful, that is a life worth living.

Grief is a silent stalker, never truly leaving your side. Today I’m thinking of all of you, suffering loss and missing loved ones. I am sorry for your pain, I am sorry for your tears. But, I am also so glad that you had love in your life. I wish my grandpa was still here to greet me after my run, to ask me about my next adventure. But I will take this grief knowing that my life is so much richer because he was in it. So much love to those of you who are in pain, you are not alone.

Former Olympian's comeback starts in San Antonio

Who running?

A legend is back to Run again this time for the love of running. ❤

The last time I ran a marathon was the Olympic Marathon Trials back in 2016. That day I finished 4th- only the top 3 went on to Rio. That race completely broke me emotionally. I went on to suffer through injuries the next two years. The thought of running a marathon again was heartbreaking, I doubted I’d ever do it again. Then early this fall I found myself naturally running more and more, meeting my coaches for long runs, getting the itch to do more. But I worried- I’m not the athlete I was 3 years ago. I’m older, more dinged up, naturally slower. Would it be stupid to run another marathon when I couldn’t guarantee I’d be fighting for a win? But in my heart, I knew I wanted to try. I have no racing requirements in my four sponsor/partnership contracts, I no longer feel like I need to prove anything to anyone, this is just for me. For my joy of running, training hard, and running the marathon. And so, I have committed to running the Houston Chevron Marathon on January 20th, 7 years after making my 2nd Olympic Team there (pictured). This race is for the love of it. #RunHou #houmarathon
