Course and logistics
The half marathon course circumvents nearly all of Conanicut Island and provides views of Narragansett Bay and the Newport Pell Bridge. The route passes historic Watson Farm, Mackeral Cove, Jamestown Village, windmills, estuaries and farms, and finishes back at Fort Getty. There is one small unpaved road section before mile 2 and a long incline around miles 9 and 10. Pace groups have been removed for this race.
Aid stations and medical support are available on course; some aid stations offer Gu energy gels, Nuun electrolyte drink and bananas. Port-a-potties are located at all aid stations. Packet pick-up is scheduled for the Friday before the race at Rhode Runner in Providence, with on-site packet pick-up and registration available on race day. Parking at Fort Getty is limited to registered runners and may be subject to delays due to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Race amenities include gender and race specific tech t-shirts, finisher medals for the half marathon, free event photos, live runner tracking via the RaceJoy app, and a post-race festival along the water. Awards are given to overall top finishers and age-group first places; awards must be picked up in person. The event is held rain or shine and organizers state there are no refunds.
