The city of San Antonio, Elite Racing and RunTex have announced the creation of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon San Antonio. This marathon and half-marathon will replace the city’s existing Marathon of the Americas which began life in 1975 as the Las Colonias Marathon.

Elite Racing estimates that its first-year event will draw approximately 21,000 runners and generate a $20 million economic impact for San Antonio. The date for this year’s Marathon of the Americas is November 11. The 2008 date for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon San Antonio will probably be the same Veterans Day weekend.
