In a local message thread about the new Rock and Roll Arizona Marathon and Half Marathon in January 2004, someone posted:
"Having logged many miles in the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tempe area, I assure you all that the "Rock 'n' Roll" 'athon will definitely not have 30,000 runners. I'd be surprised if they get 3,000. The running scene there isn't exactly booming."
Is this true? I thought Arizona was one of the best running areas in the US.
i was at a cross-country meet in eldoret today, and i heard the same thing from one of jos hermens's marathon coaches. he told me it would first happen in 2004.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
