Block Island Shad Bloom 10 K Trail Race

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.
