More than 30,000 runners took part in Sunday's Rock 'n' Roll half-marathon and marathon through San Diego, a 20 percent uptick from last year. They hailed from 49 states and 48 countries. Few had a better day than Rene Ortiz. The Mexican-born marathoner was tops among the elite runners, finishing the 26.2-mile race in 2 hours, 28 minutes and 43 seconds. Dakota Bliler of Scottsdale, Ariz., was the top-finishing women's runner in 2:52.31. The 13.
“I love running here because people are so kind and encouraging, and always cheering me on along the course.' Bliler praised the overcast weather, which — given her hometown — was understandable. 'I train a lot in the heat, living in Scottsdale, so it was also nice weather out there today,' she said, 'and I didn’t even break a sweat until mile 10.” Since its founding in 1998, the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon has prided itself on being different, loud and fun.
