Rhode Races and Events

Running Jamestown isn't just about the scenic views and coastal breeze—it’s about giving back to the stunning community that welcomes us year after year!

Even if you aren't racing, you can still make a huge impact. We're raising funds for two amazing local partners:

Fort Getty Restoration Fund: Helping preserve and restore one of Jamestown's most iconic and beautiful coastal parks.

Jamestown Parks and Rec: Supporting local recreation programs, events, and activities for all ages.

Every dollar helps keep Jamestown vibrant and beautiful for runners and locals alike!

Sun's out, runs out!

We’ve been soaking up every bit of summer fun on the pavement lately. Rhode Island might be small, but our race views are unmatched. From the ocean breezes to the historic streets, everyone has that one course they look forward to all year.

Which Rhode Races course takes the crown for you?

Hey everyone, please take a moment to wish our Co-Founder and CRO (Certified Running Officer), Susan Rancourt a very Happy Birthday today. 🎂🎉👑🎁

Hills pay the bills.

The Jamestown course does not hide its inclines, but every hill you climb in training is an investment in your race day power.

Embrace the elevation now so you can conquer the course later.

It’s the 10th day of the month, and our 10-year anniversary celebration rolls on.

When we look back at a decade of Rhode Races, we aren’t just proud of the runners—we are incredibly grateful for the volunteers who make it all possible. From 4:00 AM setups to cheering at the final mile, you are the true heartbeat of our races. 💙

Want to join the crew that brings these miles to life this fall? We need you!
