Thanks to our partnership with Eastern RI Conservation District, our post-race plogging team picked up 250 lbs of trash throughout Newport and Middletown, mostly of non-waste trash. Rhode Races is happy to provide this Spring refresh to the beautiful streets of our community. In total, approximately $15,000 was raised for local charities, including Save The Bay, Potter League for Animals, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, and more.
A special thank you to our Official Sustainability Partner, 11th Hour Racing, for supporting our mission to create a zero-waste event. Their generous funding made it
possible to implement reusable silicone cups, expand our composting and recycling efforts, and provide Boxed Water as a sustainable hydration option.
The Rhode Races Newport Marathon would not be possible without the support of its dedicated sponsors. Special thanks to:
