Amica Newport Marathon (ri)

Newport

The Amica Newport Marathon features 13.1 and 26.2 miles of unrivaled oceanfront running. This award-winning fall classic in the City by the Sea is not to be missed! Both the marathon and half-marathon start at 7:30 a.m. at Easton's Beach in Newport, Rhode Island. The races run through downtown before miles of seaside running loop around Ocean Drive. Runners then turn onto Bellevue Ave. and cruise past the famed Newport mansions and historic homes. The half marathon then finishes at the beach while the marathon continues into gorgeous Middletown, where a quiet but no less beautiful second half awaits the 26.2 crowd. Both courses are USATF-certified and can be used as a qualifier for the Boston Marathon and all other major marathon events.
