Set for October 12, 2025, the 16th edition of the Amica Newport Marathon brings runners of all levels to this celebrated fall American classic. The marathon and half-marathon courses, both certified by USATF, begin near Easton’s Beach, loop around downtown Newport, traverse Ocean Drive, pass the Gilded Age mansions along Bellevue Avenue, and reward finishers with a beachside finish and festive atmosphere. With approximately 159 m (522 ft) of elevation gain, this scenic race includes views of the Atlantic Ocean and Newport’s picturesque coastline. Both races are Boston Marathon qualifiers. Entry includes chip timing, themed race shirts, finisher medals, pacers, post-race celebration, and sustainability initiatives such as composting, waste sorting, and encouraging reusable bottles in partnership with 11th Hour Racing.
