Rhode Races and Events

Beat the Monday blues with a single run.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't the run itself—it’s just getting out the front door. Step outside, take a deep breath of fresh air, and let the movement clear away the stress.

There is nothing quite like autumn in Rhode Island.

Join us on October 17 for the Sakonnet Wine Run. It is a beautiful time of year to run through the picturesque Sakonnet Vineyards, with crisp fall air and stunning views every step of the way. Wrap up your run with a well-deserved glass of local wine.

Spots are filling up. Register today! https://rhoderaces.com/events/wine-run/

July is officially in the books, and we’re looking back at our favorite miles of the month!

Around here, nothing tops a run shared with friends—whether it’s early morning ocean-breeze miles, chasing summer sunsets, or convincing each other to push through that last hill.

What was YOUR favorite run this month? Did you smash a PR, tackle a new route, or finish a hot summer race? Drop your favorite July running moment in the comments below!

Hard runs are easier and race days are sweeter when you’ve got your crew by your side!

Happy International Friendship Day to the ones who keep us on pace, make us laugh, and show up for 5:00 am training runs!

PLOGGING IS COMING TO NARRAGANSETT!

You’ve seen us plogging at Rhode Races in Newport and Providence—and now it’s time to bring the fun to the Ocean State Rhode Races Half Marathon!

What’s Plogging?
It’s simple: picking up trash while jogging or walking. We are assembling a massive Plogger Relay Team to tackle the course together as the runners clear out.

Who can join?
EVERYONE! Racers and non-racers are welcome. If you can walk and pick up litter, you are qualified! It’s a fantastic way to support the race, get outside, and keep our coastline pristine.

How to sign up:
Head to https://rhoderaces.com/volunteer/ and enter the task password, "PLOG" when you sign up.

Let's make this 10th anniversary race our cleanest one yet! 💙
