About the Ocean State Rhode Races Marathon
Rhode Races brings its runner-organized series to Narragansett in late October, trading city blocks for shoreline roads, stone walls, and working farmland. The marathon draws Boston-focused runners along with locals who want ocean views in the final weeks of the fall season.
Course
The route leaves Narragansett Town Beach, follows Route 1A, and descends into Bonnet Shores before winding back through farmland, back roads, and stone-walled lanes to finish near the beach. Ocean views come early, and the rolling middle miles reward even effort. The course stays open for six hours, with pace groups covering common goal times.
Race-day weather
Late October on the Rhode Island coast usually means starts in the 40s with highs in the 50s. Wind off the water is the most common stressor, and rain can move through, so a throwaway layer at the beachfront start is a practical call.
