Event Details

The Willow Tree Half Marathon is a part of the inaugural Cox Providence Rhode Races, which will also feature the Cox Sports Marathon, the New Balance 5K and a Health and Fitness Expo on Saturday May 3, 2008. The half marathon’s 13.1-mile course will begin at the Johnson and Wales University Harbor side campus located on the outskirts of Downcity Providence and eventually finish in the heart of the city, where runners will cross the finish line on Webosset St.

Along the way runners will find themselves running along side both the Providence and Seekonk Rivers, through the beautiful and historic neighborhoods of the East Side of Providence, and around the Rhode Island State House and its surrounding areas.

This fast course offers runners the opportunity to see the best of what beautiful Rhode Island’s capital city has to offer, giving a glimpse of both Providence’s suburban and urban landscapes. The Cox Providence Rhode Races will be a great opportunity for runners of all experience and ability levels to challenge themselves alongside some of the best runners in New England.
