Logistics, services and post-race
Packet pick-up and registration are held at Easton’s Beach East Lot on the days before the race and on race morning; participants must show photo ID at pick-up and may collect bibs for others with a copy of that ID. There is no parking at the Easton’s Beach start/finish area; designated parking is provided offsite for the marathon (Second Beach, 315 Sachuest Point Rd, Middletown) and half marathon (Aquidneck Corporate Park, 55 Hammarlund Way, Middletown). Shuttle service runs between parking areas and the race site. A gear bag drop is available near the Beach Pavilion on race morning; athletes must provide their own bags. All finishers in both distances receive a medal. Awards are presented to the top three men and women overall and to top three finishers in standard age divisions from under 19 through 70+. A portion of each entry fee is donated to nonprofits; the race has raised more than $600,000 for charity. Post-race amenities include athlete food under the beach bathhouse, event photography, and a beer garden provided by a local brewery. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
