About this race
Join Run Newport and HOKA for the inaugural FLY-K & PR Party, a free community run on one of Rhode Island's fastest 5K courses!
Starting near the Norman Bird Sanctuary and finishing at Peabody's Beach, this point-to-point, USATF-certified course offers a rare opportunity to chase a personal record while taking in some of the most spectacular scenery in New England.
Runners and walkers will enjoy sweeping views of Third Beach, Second Beach, Sachuest Point, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Norman Bird Sanctuary before finishing just steps from the sand.
Whether you're looking to set a new PR, test your fitness, or simply spend a summer evening with the local running community, this event is designed for all paces and experience levels.
Thanks to HOKA, the first 10 registered participants will receive a free pair of HOKA running shoes. Additional giveaways and surprises will be available throughout the evening.
Participation is free, but registration is limited to 100 participants.
