The BankNewport 10 Miler 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 unparrelled 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.
Polar Beverages, water, and Gatorade will be available at the finish line. Bagels, fruit, KIND Bars, will be available to all finishers.
Every great run deserves a great beer! Your first one is on Ragged Island. Portsmouth, Rhode Island based Ragged Island Brewing will be offering all event participants of legal drinking age a complimentary post-race beer inside The Fort. Participants will need to present their race-bib and 21+ ID in order to receive their beer. Additional Harpoon Beer will be available for purchase.
