Race Info
The Providence Marathon is an annual marathon that has run in the Providence, Rhode Island area since 2008. The 2024 edition was canceled due to construction disruption from the Washington Bridge closure. The race returned in 2025 under new organizer Rhode Races & Events, with a revised course starting and finishing at Bold Point Park in East Providence. The marathon course is USATF certified and serves as a Boston Marathon qualifier.
