About
The Rhode Island Half Marathon & 5K takes place in East Providence, Rhode Island, in mid-May, with scenic routes along the East Bay Bike Path that offer views of Narragansett Bay and the Providence skyline. Both races start and finish at Pierce Memorial Stadium at 7:30 a.m. The half marathon (13.1 miles) is capped at 2,000 participants.
Participants receive a breakfast sandwich, and those of legal drinking age also get a beer. Pace groups are provided, and awards go to individual age groups and to teams. Everyone is timed with an electronic chip, and registration takes place online with no refunds. Bay breezes can make the exposed stretches feel cool, so a layer for the start is handy.
