THE NEWPORT 10 MILER & FORT ADAMS 5K
THE 10 MILER:
We are excited to announce the second annual Newport 10 Miler benefiting the Fort Adams Trust. Scheduled for April 27, 2014, the event will start outside the east wall of historic Fort Adams. The course will prominently feature Newport’s scenic coastal views around the famed Ocean Drive and will pass many Bellevue Avenue mansions. The finish line will be truly unique as participants will enter the Fort through the north gate and finish on the parade field.
NEW! - FORT ADAMS 5K
We have added a 5k road race that starts and finishes in the same locations as the Newport 10 Miler! Now, runners of all levels can participate in this great event. Do you have a friend or family member that would like to compete, but can not run 10 miles? Now they can run or walk the 5k and meet you at the finish line festival. This race starts at 8:15 a.m. and runners have 40 minutes to complete the course.
THE MISSION:
A portion of proceeds from this event will benefit the Fort Adams Trust, a 501 (C) (3) non-profit with a mission to protect and promote the historic places and public spaces at the gateway to Narragansett Bay and Newport. This includes directing and supporting the stabilization, restoration, maintenance and operation of Fort Adams as a public historic site.
When: April 27, 2014 at 8:00 a.m.
Where: Fort Adams State Park, Newport, R.I.
Who: Open to runners or walkers.
