About
Providence Rhode Races is an annual running festival in East Providence, Rhode Island, held on May 2, 2027. The marathon (26.2 miles) starts at 7:30 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 8:00, the 5K at 8:15 and the kids' fun run at 8:20. The courses take in Rhode Island waterfronts, historic neighborhoods and scenic streets, and the marathon serves as a Boston qualifier.
Community is the throughline here, with an expo, post-race festivities, and city and coastal views that give spectators plenty of places to watch from. Every level fits, from the kids' race to a full qualifying attempt. If the marathon is your target, count on about 16 weeks of training with a weekly long run; the half needs closer to twelve.
