Independence Rhode Race

The Independence Rhode Race is a half marathon held in Bristol, Rhode Island, as part of the town’s Oldest Fourth of July celebration. The scenic course winds through historic downtown Bristol, past festive homes, the America’s Cup Museum, and Roger Williams University, following part of the famous Fourth of July parade route, finishing at Independence Park on the water. A new two-person relay option adds teamwork to the half marathon distance.

The event is Green-Certified, with aid stations, a post-race festival featuring music, a Recovery Zone, and on-site massage, and an after-party at Pivotal Brewing. Finisher medals and age-group awards are awarded; an early start is available for longer finishes. Family-friendly weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
