Tucked away on the stunning shores of Narragansett Bay, the Jamestown Half Marathon isn’t just a race—it’s a postcard-worthy tour of Rhode Island’s most scenic island. Taking place this year on [insert date if known], the event has quietly built a reputation as one of the Northeast’s hidden gems for runners looking for beauty, challenge, and bragging rights all wrapped into one.
The course? Expect rolling hills, Atlantic views, and a few stretches that will make you forget you’re in the middle of a race. The iconic Jamestown Bridge looms nearby, and while you won’t be running over it, its presence adds a certain grandeur to the atmosphere. With well-organised support, a flat start and finish through Fort Getty, and crisp, early-summer air, this race checks a lot of boxes.
The field is usually a nice mix—seasoned club runners testing their pacing, locals chasing PBs, and visitors soaking up the views while grinding through the back half. It’s not the fastest course on paper, but it’s honest. Run smart, and you’ll be rewarded.
Post-race? Think small-town charm meets coastal vibes. Grab a coffee, hit the local markets, or just sit by the water and soak it in. It’s the kind of event you’ll want to do again—and bring friends to.
