About the Event

This spring race (an island favorite) takes runners over a scenic 10K course with breathtaking views of beautiful Block Island. The race includes a little bit of everything: dirt roads with stone walls and rolling pastures, a winding track overlooking the Atlantic, and at mile 4 racers meet "the wall", a steep, double tiered, narrow climb. Every mile is different. This race has a loyal following. The race starts at 1:00 pm at the Block Island School. Questions ? Please call 401-466-3223 ask for Dave or Mac. Or send us an email at dsniffen@newshorehamri.gov

If the ferry is cancelled race day, then the race will be postponed until Sunday May 10th.

During the winter months Block Island is the very picture of a sleepy, seaside New England town, with a local population of around 900 people. In summer, the island's population explodes to nearly 10,000 at any given time, and many thousands more on busy weekends or holidays.
