Marathon de Newport Rhode Races

Newport Rhode Races Marathon is held in Newport, Rhode Island, on Saturday, April 17, 2027, with the town's coastline as its backdrop. Four formats are offered: a marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 5K and the Beach Mile, a short, fast race run along the beach. That spread means a household can enter together and everyone still gets a proper race.

An April date on the New England coast puts this one squarely in spring-marathon territory, with cool conditions and a build that runs through the winter months. The full is the choice if you want a spring goal race or a qualifier attempt; the half works well as a stepping stone or a tune-up. Newcomers can start with the 5K, while the Beach Mile is a novelty worth adding on: soft footing makes it far harder than a mile on the road.
