This article celebrates the dedicated runners who make Rhode Races special, highlighting their personal stories, motivations, and the sense of camaraderie they find at our events.

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 […]
Running and road racing has evolved so much since my start in 1987, in so different categories. I still have one of the Nike Pegasus shoes that were given to us as members of the URI Track and Field team and I think most modern runners would be shocked to see what a Division 1 […]

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. […]
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 […]
