RI Grand Prix:
We are thrilled to have the Clamdigger 5-Mile race be part of the 2025 Rhode Island Grand Prix!
More info: https://rigrandprix.com/
The Rhode Island Grand Prix is an annual road racing series for Rhode Island-based runners and running clubs. Over the course of several races, runners compete as both individuals and teams to accumulate points in the hopes of winning awards (and bragging rights!) at the end of the year.
Chowder and drinks will be served post-race for all participants. Strollers discouraged, but if used should start at the back of the pack. Dogs allowed as spectators only; prohibited on course per the terms of our liability insurance. Walkers are welcome at all of our events; HOWEVER, in consideration of our volunteers' time, we respectfully ask walkers to choose the shorter 5K course.
