In order to put on this event, we must comply with strict time constraints and appreciate your cooperation and respect for our requirements. To ensure a smooth event, all athletes must follow their assigned shuttle time (sent Thursday of event week). Shuttles run from the Newport Bus Depot to Jamestown starting at 5:30 AM, with the last departure at 6:45 AM. Assignments are based on registration order—early registrants get later times. Race bibs are required to board, and shuttles are for registered participants only. Thanks for your cooperation!

There are no shuttles back to Jamestown following the race.

Yes. Athletes are welcome to be dropped off near the starting line in front of the RITBA building on East Shore Rd. (map) instead of taking the shuttles. Please note that there is no parking at the race start and there are no shuttles back to Jamestown following the race. All athletes must be dropped off before East Shore Rd. closes at 7:00 AM.

Registered participants can pick up their race bib and event shirt at Ragged Island Brewing Co. on Friday, The Newport Marriott Atrium on Saturday, or the Newport Bus Depot on Sunday before the race.

The bridge is exposed to wind and the elements. Runners should monitor the weather leading up to race day and prepare accordingly.

Our events are held rain or shine. However, there is always the potential for extreme or severe weather conditions. Race organizers will do as much as we can to ensure the experience is as safe as possible. In the event of severe weather, the race may be delayed as race officials consult public safety officers. If there is more than a short delay, if conditions persist, or the forecast calls for extreme weather, race officials reserve the right to alter or cancel the race. We do not schedule “rain dates”. Any decision to cancel an event is done as an absolute last resort and is made collectively with local risk management, police, fire & rescue, and medical personnel as appropriate. In such situations, there will be NO REFUNDS as registrants accept any such risk of their entry fee when signing up.

Please check the website, our Facebook page, and your email before the race for any changes or cancellations.

No. Only registered participants will be able to use the shuttles and are required to show their race bib to board the shuttle.
