Beautiful Marathon!!

In 2022, we had great, cool temps. The breeze off the ocean got pretty stiff in the second half, but it was not terrible. The first half - as many have observed - is a perfect tour of Newport mansions and Ocean Drive, just stunning. The second half is scenic, but sparse as it winds through a wildlife refuge and some tony neighborhoods overlooking the ocean. Rolling hills in this race are not major, but they are consistent. I have to say that the organization and volunteers were superb. Aid stations were well-stocked, and the volunteers friendly and very encouraging. The half is the marquis event, but the full marathon is really good too. Overall, well organized, phenomenal way to see this stunning coastal town!!
