From Virginia Beach and Philadelphia to Los Angeles and San Diego,
there's the 14-city Rock 'N' Roll Marathon Series combining music and
running.

Raleigh takes off on its own with its version of running and rocking with Saturday's Bank of America Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon, the longest event of a full weekend of benefit race opportunities for Triangle runners. (A list is below.)

The 13-mile course for the 8 a.m. half marathon starts and ends at the
Bank of America building on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh.
