Event
Details
Known for its beautiful white sand beaches and rolling farmland, the
town of Middletown welcomes the 16th annual running of its Newport
Federal Savings Bank Half Marathon & 5K in 2007, the only race
of its length currently on the state’s road race calendar.
On
an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at the town’s
YMCA headquarters, the race takes runners, walkers and wheelchair
participants on a scenic tour of area beaches and includes a number of
challenging hills.
All pre-registered runners receive an official race t-shirt, and race
organizers will provide shower and changing facilities on-site at the
start of the race. After the finish at the post-race celebration,
plenty of juice, soda and food will be on hand for all participants.
While you’re in town, enjoy the scenic drives in and around
Middletown, which take drivers to and from the beach areas –
surfing, swimming and nature walking are just a few of the most popular
pastimes to these Rhode Island oceanfront areas.
