San Antonio Sports CEO Jenny Carnes said SA Sports has been dreaming of hosting a signature running event since they first hosted the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in 2008.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome the runners from all across the city, from all 50 states and from over 25 countries to experience the best of San Antonio,” Carnes said at a pre-marathon news conference.
More than 18,000 runners signed up for the race.
