Angry Unicorn Half Marathon / 5K

Angry Unicorn Half Marathon / 5K takes place in East Providence, Rhode Island, on November 8, 2026, along the shoreline. Ocean State Multisport puts on the event, which offers two road distances in a festive atmosphere: a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles). The route follows the water while passing through East Providence.

A waterfront half is a good one to target for a personal best, since a road course you can settle into rewards even pacing more than bursts of effort. Give yourself 10 to 12 weeks, with a weekly long run growing to about 11 miles and one session at goal pace. The 5K asks for far less: consistency, a couple of interval sessions, and a proper warm-up. Runners doing both formats over a season often use the 5K in early fall to set a realistic half marathon target.
