Event Overview
The Women's Classic takes place in Providence, Rhode Island, starting from the Brown University Stadium. This athletic gathering supports Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England and features multiple participation options:
- 5K run
- 3K walk
The course is a certified, flat, and fast route that travels through the historic East Side of Providence. Participants in the 5K event are not permitted to use strollers due to the volume of runners. However, those participating in the 3K walk may use strollers, provided they start at the back of the starting area. Dogs are prohibited from the course and the track facilities.
Competition and Prizes
The event includes both individual and team competitions for the 5K distance. Teams must consist of at least three women, with the top three aggregate gun times determining the score. Cash prizes are awarded to the top three teams and the top five overall individual finishers. Awards are also provided for the top three finishers in the non-binary category and various age groups ranging from 19 and under to 80 and over.
Additional Activities
Beyond the main races, the event site hosts a Health and Wellness Fair and a Kids Village. Younger participants can take part in specific Kids Races. The first 400 individuals to collect their bib numbers receive shirts and goody bags. Packet pickup is available the day prior to the race at a local running store or at the stadium on the morning of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
