RHODE ISLAND RED DISTANCE CLASSIC

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

 

“The Rhode Island Red is the state bird of Rhode Island.”  Clifford C. Clavin, Jr. 

The Rhode Island Red Distance Classic is an 8-hour event being held on Friday, September 28, 2012---the day before several east coast marathons-- in order to give runners an opportunity to successfully experience a double or triple weekend in a low-key and very friendly environment.    

The race will be held at Warwick, Rhode Island City Park, which is located on Steven O’Connor Boulevard in Warwick, Rhode Island.  Please see the above map for the exact location of the start/finish/course.  This is the same certified 2.7 mile loop course as the Rhode Island 6 hour ultra, held every year in November.  The November race bills the course as “a fast, slightly rolling loop in Warwick RI's City Park.  The course is wooded and scenic with parts overlooking Narragansett Bay.” 

Each runner will have eight hours to cover as much distance as possible or desired.

Please note that the starting time is 4:00 AM in order for the runners to complete their event by noon Friday and then drive to their Saturday race.

This is a fatass event, so there is no entry fee.  Please bring your own food and beverages.  All runners who complete at least a half marathon will receive a finisher’s medal.  Keep in mind, though, that you didn’t pay an entry fee and Rhode Island is, after all, the smallest state.

Prior registration is requested, but race day registration is available. 

Official results will be available on this website.

If you have any questions, please contact Steve Hughes (312) 346-2077 or HughesSJ480@msn.com.
