Amica Newport Marathon

The course is a tour of Newport’s highlights, from gilded age mansions to swaths of sandy beaches. From 13.1 to 26.2 miles, both of our USATF-certified courses feature stunning views and a beachside finish. The races run through downtown before miles of seaside running loop around Ocean Drive. Runners then turn onto Bellevue Ave. and cruise past the famed Newport mansions and historic homes. The half marathon then finishes at the beach while the marathon continues into gorgeous Middletown, where a quiet but no less beautiful second half awaits the 26.2 crowd. Both courses are USATF-certified and can be used as a qualifier for the Boston Marathon and all other major marathon events.
