The Rock 'n' Roll Running Series returns to Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday, with three different distances for participants to try their luck.

The race series includes stops in Arizona, San Diego, Washington DC, Chinese Teipei, and Madrid, among others, and tests participants' endurance at each stop.

The annual Vegas race includes a half marathon, 5K, and 10K options down the Strip and throughout Sin City. All three finish under the bright lights of Vegas, giving runners the opportunity to experience the city's larger-than-life appeal.

As expected, races of those magnitudes will have an impact on traffic, with several key road closures taking effect. For a complete list, visit the Rock 'n' Roll Series official list of road closures here.

Awaiting racers after the events are a collection of entertainment options, including a Saturday evening Runner's Party, a mini festival featuring five hours of music from different DJs and interactive game options.

Throughout the runs, there is on-course entertainment provided by different DJs, keeping the party-like atmosphere alive and well throughout the competition.

Sunday morning features yoga on The Strip and after they complete their grueling runs, athletes are invited to the official after-party at LIV Las Vegas from 8:00-10:30 p.m.

The amount of activity in and around the race itself creates one of the most unique experiences of the calendar year for competitive running and proves why the rock-themed event is one of the more popular races on the schedule.
