Dominican Ron Stevens has participated in the first ever European Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series held in Madrid, Spain.<\/p>\n

Stevens hails from the village of Giraudel.<\/p>\n

The event which took place last Sunday is the first of its kind outside the US, where the marathon has its roots.<\/p>\n

The series began in 1998 with the idea of making running fun but it has transformed the US running landscape entirely by infusing music with running.<\/p>\n

With music and party-like atmosphere along every mile of the course long distance running became approachable and more and more people participated in something they had never dreamed they could do \u2013 run a marathon.<\/p>\n

According to organizers the charity aspect of the event has raised more than $235 million dollars raised for participating charities.<\/p>\n

Over 500,000 people take part in the event in 26 North American cities each year.<\/p>\n

Organizers say taking the marathon to Madrid is the first step in making it a global event.<\/p>\n
