WELCOME TO ROCK 'N' ROLL W
elcome to Los Angeles! At the beginning of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series in 1998, we set out to create the next great race in the world. By pure luck, we created a themed event, and by pure luck, the face of the sport has changed. The sport of running has never been more inclusive of everybody’s aspirations as it is today. Whether you are running to lose weight, change your life, set a personal best, or raise massive amounts for charity, everyone is welcome on our roads. Thank you for being a part of the 8th running of this incredible event. Thank you to the City of Los Angeles and all of its residents for the continued support, embracing road closures and waking up early to cheer on our runners. This is a race planned and produced by many hard working individuals who take great pride in every element of the participant experience. We hope you have the time of your life running through the city and that you continue to make it a tradition with us for many years to come!

20+ SCIENTIFIC STUDIES SUPPORT THE BENEFITS OF RECOVERING AFTER STRENUOUS EXERCISE WITH THE HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN AND NUTRIENTS FOUND IN CHOCOLATE MILK For four-time Triathlon World Champion MIRINDA “RINNY” CARFRAE, tough workouts are her full time job, training up to 35 hours per week. With numerous run course records, running is the backbone to her multi-sport training schedule. Long runs are a time to reset, reflect and focus on her goals. And since her teens, she has relied on chocolate milk to help her get back out for her next run.
OFFICIAL RECOVERY BEVERAGE
RINNY’S REASONS
TO RECOVER WITH CHOCOLATE MILK: 1. It is a natural source of high-quality protein to build lean muscle – ideal for endurance training. 2. It has the right mix of protein and carbs, scientifically shown to refuel exhausted muscles to help her give it her all in the next workout. 3. It provides fluids and electrolytes – like calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium – to rehydrate and help replenish critical nutrients lost in sweat.
Train like a champion. Recover with chocolate milk after a tough workout to get back out on the road, conquering your next goal. To learn more about the science behind the recovery benefits of lowfat chocolate milk log on to BuiltWithChocolateMilk.com.

Advertorial
Derek Mitchell’s inspiring journey to improve his health and lose more than 200 pounds started with a personal pledge. His passion picked up steam when Team Red, White and Blue members encouraged him to finish his first 5K strong by running across the finish line. Having several veteran family members, Derek found Team Red White and Blue’s mission to enrich the lives of American veterans to be the perfect motivation. Through
Charity Miles, a health partner of Humana, Derek is able to contribute to their cause with each and every step he takes. Since completing that first race just over a year ago, Derek has completed more than 40 5Ks—which is a lot of steps! Charity Miles logs users’ distance, and members earn money for the charity of their choice whenever they walk, run or otherwise get moving. There are more than 35 impactful nonprofit organizations featured on the app. Members can choose to support Stand Up To Cancer, ASPCA and the Wounded Warrior Project, to name a few. The more miles you cover, the more money is donated to your cause. Download the Charity Miles app today, and join Derek in supporting a cause that motivates you to #StartWithHealthy.
