Rock 'n' Roll Brooklyn
Oct. 14, 2017 — Brooklyn, N.Y.

With a rich music history, it's a given that Brooklyn would have some of the best on-course tunes of the Rock 'n' Roll series. With live music every miles of the course, Brooklyn bands will entertain you through 13.1 miles with everything from alternative and rock to funk and blues. We guarantee you won't get bored while on this course. And, as an incentive to get through the miles, stick around after all is said and done for a post-race concert featuring New York's own Here We Go Magic.
