A massive Wall of Noise which will provide more than 400m of music, packed with DJs and pumping tracks
More music on the route than ever before with live choirs, orchestras and buskers adding to the musical experience
The first 5 000 participants to book their 10km and 21.1km tickets will receive a complimentary Rock the Run running shirt.
