I finished my first half marathon ever. Along with 40,000 other runners, the Rock n Roll Madrid race is super crowded but enjoyable. Running through the streets of your town is a gift. Live music, lots of people supporting athletes, and nicely organized amenities for runners once the race is finished. I don't usually like to run long distances, but once a year doesn't hurt, so I think I'm going to repeat in 2025.
