Did you know that all Rhode Races events are Green-Certified by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management? Rhode Races actively contributes to the well-being of the communities it traverses by actively minimizing its neighborhood impact. One of our key objectives is to ensure that the race course is left cleaner than we found it. […]
This time of year, we are wrapping up our race season and we start full scale planning of next year’s races. As we plan forward, we reflect on the past year – we send out surverys, we discuss internally what went right and what we need to change, what vendors are matching our mission and […]

As I have said before – “running” a road race requires the same amount of pre-race prep, as does running the race. We spend our off-season doing the unglamorous work of planning our race strategies, making tweaks to what went wrong last year, and learning to improve and grow for this year. Sound a lot […]
April in New England conjures up many images – daffodils blooming, the grass turning greener, nature shaking off its winter coat and unfurling out its limbs.
