Jamestown Rhode Races

Jamestown Rhode Races

The Jamestown Rhode Races take place in Jamestown, Rhode Island, centered at Fort Getty on Conanicut Island. The in-person half marathon circumnavigates nearly the entire island and offers views of Narragansett Bay and the Newport Pell Bridge. The course passes Mackerel Cove, historic Watson Farm, and Jamestown Village with its small shops and restaurants. There is one short unpaved section before mile 2 and a long incline around miles 9 and 10. The on-course time limit is 3.5 hours. The event field is limited to 425 participants. The listed registration fee for the in-person half marathon is $60.

A virtual half marathon option allows participants to complete the 13.1 mile distance on their own course between September 1 and October 1. Virtual entrants submit a GPS file to report results and will receive the official race medal; the virtual registration fee is $50. The organizer states the event will occur rain or shine and does not offer refunds. In cases of severe weather that create an unsafe environment, organizers may cancel the event without issuing refunds.
