Marathon, half-marathon and 5K run through scenic Newport

Posted

Newport hosts stunning marathon, half-marathon and 5K road races this weekend. Newport Rhode Races partners with the annual Newport Daffodil Days Festival for the races, which will pass along many of the more than 1,200,000 bulbs starting to bloom around the City by the Sea. (We’ll call it Dash through the Daffodils!)

The Marathon will start at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, April 15, at Easton’s Beach in Newport. The Half-Marathon will start at 7:45 a.m. from the same location. The 5k will follow at 8 am – all from the same beautiful seaside start.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
