A gorgeous run past the Cliff Walk, through a secluded section of Salve Regina University before a loop through a neighborhood and back down to Easton's Beach.
Early Starters Marathon
Our race officially has a time limit of 6 hours. However - we do have an early starters option for those that need extra time, the start time for the early starters is 6:30am. While the course is not yet supported and secure, it does allow you an extra hour to finish, we feel it is better to have more support at the end, rather than in the beginning. A couple notes about this - the course is not yet supported but is still getting set up. We just ask you stay on the sidewalks until we officially start at 7:30a. The route is marked but it will be important to be familiar with the first few miles. Aid station supplies will be in place but the volunteers may not arrive until a bit later. Finally, you would be ineligible for Age Group Awards. Just some FYIs.
