Fifteen Ways to Spice Up Your Running
Whether you are just starting out, or a seasoned marathoner, every once in a while your running can start to get more like a chore rather than a gift. You start to get in a rut – the same ole routes, the same playlist, the weather is bad, etc – and you start to dread […]
Sustainability and Environmental Initiatives
A core part of our mission has been to be good environmental stewards. As we get to race in some of the most beautiful locations Rhode Island has to offer, we want to do our part in minimizing our footprint not just at these locations, but in our greater global use. To that end, we […]
November – A Time of Thanks
November is a time for reflection and thanks for us.? Not only is it the end of our racing season, but we formed the company 5 years ago in November so it is our Anniversary as well!? (You can learn more about us at this link.) We are always so incredibly grateful at the end […]
Ready to Launch
As I have said before – “running” a road race requires the same amount of pre-race prep, as does running the race.

2016 Providence Marathon
I don’t think words can express how grateful and humbled we are after this weekend’s events. For those that have been following along – this race has been a challenge. Every year it is a challenge as it is a logistical nightmare running 3000 people through a downtown City using 3 courses and 4 municipalities. […]
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Part of Rhode Races & Events core mission is to minimize our races impact on the environment. When we started this company, this was a goal of ours from the onset. We recognize how much trash and waste is produced at a race and we spent a great deal of time in the off-season looking […]
Learning from Back-of-the-Packers
DreamFar is a inner city group that trains for road races in hopes to keep kids off the streets and away from drugs. We just returned from upstate NY for a 5k, 10k and half marathon at a casino. ?This is always a tough race to execute due to the distance – we work crazy […]
