Newport 10 Miler
The Newport 10 Miler is an annual 10 mile road race that starts and finishes at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island. The course runs along the waterfront and passes coastal scenery. The event supports the Fort Adams Trust and the Boys and Girls Club of Newport County.
Registration is handled online with an online registration deadline in early June; onsite registration and bib pick-up are available on the three days before race day. Packet pick-up locations include Ragged Island Brewing and Fort Adams. Registered participants receive a race bib with timing chip and an athlete shirt. All participants must show photo identification at pick-up; participants may collect bibs for others provided they present a copy or photo of that person’s ID. Participants who pick up bibs on race morning may not receive shirts until after the race.
Gear bag drop is offered on race morning near the bib pick-up area inside Fort Adams. Athletes must supply their own bag and will use their registration number to identify their gear.
Parking is available at Fort Adams; the walk from parking areas to the start is approximately half a mile. Parking is first-come-first-park. Organizers note limited access roads and recommend allowing extra time to arrive; alternatives include carpooling and bicycling from nearby parking such as Rogers High School, with bike racks provided by local partners.
All finishers receive a finisher’s medal. Awards are presented to the top three male and top three female finishers and to the top athlete in each age group, including Under 19, 20–24, 25–29, 30–34, 35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, 55–59, 60–64, 65–69, and 70 and over. A post race beer garden is provided by a local brewery; registrants 21 and older receive one complimentary beer and additional drinks are available for purchase.
