The tenth running of the Providence Marathon will be held on May 6, 2018. This exciting race day in DownCity will host a marathon, half marathon, 5k and kids fun run.
The Marathon will start at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, May 6 in Downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The Half Marathon will start at 8:00 a.m. from the same place. The 5k will follow at 8:15 am and the kids race with take off at 8:20 – all from the same great downtown running festival.
After a few hot days this week the weather will be much more comfortable in the 50s to low 60s for the races on Sunday. There is a chance of light rain showers, but certainly nothing like what happened in Boston on April 16! The breeze will be light, and clouds should prevail. Overall, it looks like great racing weather – perfect for a personal best!
