Don’t run this race. It is terribly organized.
Positives:
1. It is not expensive.
2. There are plenty of hotels nearby.
Negatives:
1. Most of the water stations are just tiny tables with cups on them. The tables are really short and often placed on turns, so it is hard to pick up the water. There are no volunteers helping the runner. No Gatorade. No gels.
2. The elevation map on findmymarathon is wrong. The elevation gain was 464 ft from Strava and 454 by Garmin map. There were a few steep hills.
3. Don’t expect any spectators. I only saw tens of spectators near the start/finish line.
4. The worst part was the organization. The race director always figures out a way to mess up the race.
In 2021, it was reported that the course was short because the director placed the timing matt wrong.
In 2022 when I ran the race, there were many direction marks missing on the course from around Mile 2. I got lost twice and ran 1.5 extra miles. Some people got lost even more. And hilariously, when I got lost for the 2nd time, I saw a female runner came from a different direction. Even worse, the race director yelled at me when he saw me on the wrong side of the course. WTF?!
The course only had time matts on the start and finish, and it was really easy to cheat (no volunteers on the course to direct the runners or check if anyone was cutting short.) I honestly don’t know how it was a certified course for BQ.
In my year, the website said there was going to be awards for top runners, and nothing happened.
Overall, if you don’t want your hard training wasted,
AVOID any races by OCEAN STATE MULTISPORT!!!
