The BankNewport 10 Miler is one of the most scenic road races in the country, highlighting the best that The City by the Sea has to offer. The course is a ten-mile run/walk that starts and finishes at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island.
The race starts outside the east walls of the Fort before leaving the park and taking a right onto Harrison Ave. The course then takes a slight right onto Ridge Rd and continues on to the famed Ocean Drive from mile two through six, featuring unparalelled scenic oceanfront racing. The course will then turn left onto Bellevue Avenue for one mile and run past many of Newport’s world famous mansions. Participants will then work their way back towards Fort Adams for just under two miles, before turning right into the state park once again and finishing inside the walls of the Fort!
The race provides a relatively flat course with some rolling hills. The majority of the race is just above sea level.
A post-race beer garden from local craft brewery Ragged Island will be offered following the event. All registrants 21+ will receive a complimentary beer with additional beer available for purchase onsite.
