EVENT GUIDE
Welcome to the one half marathon you won’t want to end. A r ace so rock ‘n’ roll, the mile markers are rock bands. Because what’s the point of running if you just want it to end? Here, you might not break the tape, but the podium isn’t the point. Life is a journey and running should be a celebr ation.

EVENT GUIDE
Dear Friends of St. Jude, ®
St. Jude is celebrating 50 years of finding cures and saving children, and I am delighted to mark such a milestone year with St. Jude as the official benefiting charity for this event. The St. Jude Latin Music Miami Beach Half Marathon is a great match for St. Jude Heroes program. The event provides an ideal venue for both fitness enthusiasts and Latin music fans who want to make a real difference in the fight against childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. It is also an honor to be associated with race organizer Competitor Group Inc., which has done an amazing job of making this event a destination for runners everywhere. I am deeply grateful to those of you who are running as St. Jude Heroes to raise funds for our mission. Thanks to the support of friends like you, we can provide pioneering research and exceptional care to children, continuing to change the way the world treats childhood cancer. Your generosity means that no family ever pays St. Jude for anything. I hope that you will stay in touch with the mission of St. Jude throughout the year by visiting stjude.org. Get ready to Run For a Reason and give the children of St. Jude the chance of a lifetime. ®
Regards,
ST. JUDE® Latin Music Miami Beach™ Half Marathon
On behalf of everyone at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital , I want to thank you for attending the St. Jude Latin Music Miami Beach Half Marathon.

But in September 2011,
ST. JUDE® Latin Music Miami Beach™ Half Marathon
shortly after Audrey started first grade, tests revealed a tumor in her chest. Audrey underwent surgery to remove the tumor, which was identified as an inflammatory miofibroblastic tumor. Audrey’s doctor referred her family to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for her continuing treatment and care. ®
At St. Jude, Audrey started a chemotherapy protocol. She has responded well to treatment, and is back at school. She takes oral chemotherapy twice a day and visits St. Jude once a month. “St. Jude is such a blessing for our family,” says Marshall, Audrey’s dad. “It’s an incredible place that resonates hope amongst the darkest of circumstances.”
Become a St. Jude Hero to help kids like Audrey. Learn more at heroes.stjude.org.

EVENT GUIDE HEADLINER CONCERT 26
Reggaetón Duo Alexis y Fido
Headliner Concert Featuring
ALEXIS y FIDO You’ve moved to the rhythm of live bands along your 13.1-mile or relay journey—now celebrate your post-race accomplishment with family and friends immediately after the race with this powerful live headliner concert featuring Alexis y Fido!
Fiercely loyal to their fans, aggressive and authoritative in their lyrical delivery, and relentless in their pursuit of success, Cayey-bred Puerto Rican artists Raul “Alexis” Ortiz and Joel “Fido” Martinez, better known as reggaetón duo Alexis y Fido, have more than earned their “Los Pitbulls” nickname. Alexis & Fido were one of the most solicited artists by major labels before they were signed to Sony BMG. They were on 6 of the most influential Reggaeton compilations prior to obtaining a major record deal and in four years, Alexis y Fido have released 5 remarkable albums while remaining at the top of the Billboard charts ever since their first release in 2005. Indeed, they’ve gone from talented, under-the-radar performers to bonafide superstars with international selling power, establishing a highly marketable name and image, landing film roles, performing at some of the most exclusive Latin music award ceremonies, and scoring major endorsement deals with several marquis companies. Though Alexis & Fido have been performing reggaetón since their adolescent years, it wasn’t until 2005 that they exploded into the international stratosphere. Their debut album, 2005’s “The Pitbulls” debuted at the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers and the Latin Rhythm charts and at the No. 4 spot on the Top Latin Albums chart, eventually reaching gold status with over 500,000 copies sold worldwide. Their debut single, 2005’s “Eso Ehh!,” remained steadfast in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Latin Singles chart for ten consecutive weeks and, in addition, was featured on an episode of HBO’s critically acclaimed series The Wire and on the mega hit television series Entourage.

EVENT GUIDE BANDS ON THE COURSE 28
LaDoFaSiL
La Gente Naranja La Gente Naranja started in 2008, when Eddie Garcia, Diego Saa and José Nouel met. The initial idea was to go back to the roots of rock and do something very raw and organic…that’s how they came up with the name. In 2011, Diego Saa left the band to pursue other projects and two old friends came along to give a new beginning to the band. Rolando Aleman on bass and Eddie Guzman on guitar are the new members. The band recently released a new album.
LaDoFaSiL Band is a South Florida Latin Rock/Pop band formed by 5 musicians: Ricky Ruiz (Lead Singer), Sebastian Cruz (Drums), Joe Stamm (Bass), Javier Urrutia (Guitar) and Guillermo Navarro (Guitar/Voice). The name LaDoFaSiL comes from a pun or word play between the musical notes in Spanish (Do, Re Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si). Ricardo Ruiz joined the Band as the lead vocalist along with Joe Stamm in the bass. With the best of the Latin Rock from the 80’s, 90’s and today, LaDoFaSiL counts with two different shows: acoustic show and full band show for all types of venues and events.
DANGERFLOW Take one part hip-hop, one part soul, add a dash of Afro-Cuban drum rhythms, shake well and enjoy. These carefully-blended ingredients make up the sound of South Florida’s most exciting & refreshing hip-hop band, Dangerflow. Dangerflow brings its hip-hop beat to the crowd with a cocktail of live drums, funky guitars, and jazzy horns. Led by both a conscious wordsmith and soulful vocalist, the danceable sound doesn’t come without substance. With influences that range from Gym Class Heroes to a Miami version of The Roots, the group makes sure to include an inspiring message in nearly every song but also incorporate humor and clever wordplay.

Run Like A Local
In the final days before your halfmarathon or relay, it’s important to take care of your body. Resting your legs is important, but an easy two to three mile tune-up run can help relieve anxiety while keeping your body loose and ready for the race. Miami Beach conveniently offers haute places for fun runs that are easily accessible to both residents and visitors. Check out one of these suggested paths!
Brickell Key Walking Path
Surrounded by water, this path is perfect for an early morning jog to watch the sunrise. With beautiful art along the way, you’ll feel as if you’re in your own private exercising paradise. Providing unobstructed views of the water, there’s no better place to get your runners high.
South Beach
Let the ocean breeze cool you off as you jog through one of the best people watching territories in the Magic City. The South Beach shoreline is one of the most popular exercise destinations around.
Oleta River State Park
There’s nothing that compares to the simple pleasure of jogging in a park. With its beautiful views, Oleta River State Park, located in Biscayne Bay, allows you to interact with nature and truly embrace its beauty.
The Boardwalk in Miami Beach

EVENT GUIDE RESPECT THE DISTANCE 38
For many of you, this will be your first marathon or half marathon. Whether this is your first or fiftieth race, congratulations on your commitment to fitness and a healthy lifestyle! Whether you choose to run, walk or just rock, the following tips will help to ensure you have a fun and safe Rock ‘n’ Roll experience.
ADVICE FROM THE ROCK 'N' ROLL MEDICAL DIRECTOR, P.Z. PEARCE, M.D.
1 2 3 4
TRAIN
It’s too late to start now, but you need to respect the distance you’ve chosen to walk or run. There are many different training programs available to you. Be sure you chose one that had you complete at least 2/3 of the race distance several times during your training period. If not, slow down and participate at a comfortable pace.
HYDRATE
If you have not calculated your fluid needs for this race, there are two strategies which will ensure you don’t under or over-hydrate. The easiest is to only drink when you are thirsty. If you want to be a little more scientific, limit fluid intake to 4-8 oz of sports drink every 20 minutes For more information on hydration strategies, please visit our website..
SALT
Losing salt through sweating and complex hormone changes during exercise can result in lowering your serum [blood] sodium level. This will not only affect your performance, it may lead to muscle cramping, headache, dizziness and confusion. Have some sports drink along the course to quench your thirst, or follow your pre-planned schedule.
PLEASE
Fill out the medical information section on the back of your bib number. While serious medical problems are quite rare, knowing any medical problems you have, medications you are taking or allergies to medications is extremely helpful to our Medical Volunteers. Our goal is to treat all of our athletes like Rock Stars!
If you have questions, please visit RNRSportsMedicine.com, stop by the Rock ‘n’ Roll Sports Medicine Team booth at the Expo or visit one of our Medical Tents on race day. We would be happy to assist you. Have fun, be smart, and stay within your limits. In other words, Rock On…
