Rock ?n? Roll?s primary charity support doesn?t come in the form of checks, but ?allowing? charities to raise money via the race.

In addition, the series was given a date of Feb. 12, which one promoter said was scheduled too soon after her event, the Women's Half Marathon Race Series, slated for Nov. 20.

Scheduled too soon after her event? WTF does that even mean? If it was scheduled a week before her event I could understand the whining, not three months later.
