About
Get ready to dash through the daffodils in the City-by-the-Sea! The Newport Rhode Races offer a full marathon, half marathon, and 5k, perfectly timed with the Annual Newport Daffodil Days Festival. Imagine running past a sea of over 1.2 million blooming daffodils, through historical streets with ocean views. For an extra challenge, try the Beach Mile under the Race Arch—just watch for the charming surprises Mother Nature scatters along the shore!
Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025, and experience the coastal charm first-hand. The marathon, a Boston Qualifier, begins at 7:30 a.m., with other races staggering their start times at Easton's Beach in Newport, RI. Prepare for all weather conditions, and remember, our love for the environment means respecting the beautiful dunes. No refunds, but we offer flexible options for transfers and deferrals. Join us, rain or shine, for a memorable run where the ocean meets the blooms!
