Course Description

The UnitedHealthcare Marathon and Half Marathon cover a rolling course on scenic Newport and Middletown roads. Starting by the water in downtown Newport, the course runs through some of the most scenic spots on Aquidneck Island, including along historic Thames Street in downtown Newport, around Fort Adams State Park, past Hammersmith Farm and the Newport Country Club, around scenic Brenton Point and Ocean Drive and past the famous Bellevue Avenue mansions. 

All three USATF certified races take advantage of Newport and Middletown's rich history and beautiful oceanside scenery to offer some of the most breathtaking runs in the country.

The UnitedHealthCare Marathon is honored to host the UnitedHealthcare Half Marathon and the UnitedHealthCare 5k, both voted the best in the Northeast by Competitor magazine in their respective categories in 2011!
