Jamestown Rhode Race - Half Marathon
The Jamestown Rhode Race is a Half Marathon held on Conanicut Island in Jamestown, Rhode Island. The course circumnavigates nearly the entire island and offers views of Narragansett Bay and the Newport Pell Bridge. Runners pass Mackeral Cove, historic Watson Farm, seaside neighborhoods, windmills, estuaries and the village of Jamestown with its small shops and restaurants. The route includes one short unpaved section before mile 2 and a sustained incline around miles 9 and 10. The start and finish are located at Fort Getty.
The event is R.I. Department of Environmental Management Green-Certified. Aid stations are placed along the course and provide water, electrolyte drink, HoneyStinger energy gels and bananas; port-a-potties are available at all aid stations. Race amenities include gender and race specific technical shirts, event finisher medals for half marathon participants, free race photos, and live runner tracking via the RaceJoy app. A course limit of 3.5 hours applies for official finishers.
Spectator and parking information notes that parking is located at Fort Getty with capacity restrictions; several shoreline locations such as Jamestown harbor, Freebody Road and Mackerel Cove are mentioned as viewing points.
