Annual Hangover Classic 5 Miler
The event is the 41st annual road race held on January 1, 2027 in Bristol, Rhode Island at 3 Poppasquash Rd. The course runs through Colt State Park and along Poppasquash Rd, with parts on an untreated bike path. Organizers describe the race in an old school road race tradition: participants line up on the road, should know the course, and may bring any personal aid they need. There is no chip timing, but results are timed and scored. The course will be open for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The race operates as a cupless event, so participants must bring their own hydration and nutrition.
There are two participation options:
- 5 Miles in person road race through Colt State Park and Poppasquash Rd.
- 5 Miles virtual resolution challenge logged on New Years Day with charity donation.
Awards include one of a kind trophies for the Top 2 Men and Top 2 Women overall and the first male and female in each category: Junior (18 and under), Open (19 to 29), Sub Master (30 to 39), Master (40 to 49), Senior (50 to 59), Veteran (60 to 69), and Grand Veteran (70 plus). T shirts are provided to the first 350 applicants. Bib pick up is at the VFW Hall, 850 Hope St. Parking guidance is given for Guiteras School, Washington St, and downtown Bristol. The race benefits the Girls Cross Country team at Mt Hope High School. The virtual option donates five dollars from each registration to the Mt Hope Cross Country Team. A post race party at The Guild on Water St includes a bib tear off for one free pint for entrants of legal drinking age, valid on race day only.
