On the evening of April 4, 2026, Grenon’s Newport Night Run turns Newport into a glowing, after-dark running party with a single, timed 5K run/walk open to all ages and paces. The course starts and finishes at Rogers High School, then heads out onto some of Aquidneck Island’s most tranquil, smooth rural roads, including sections near Ocean Avenue and Hazard Road, giving participants a rare chance to race these lanes under the stars. Entirely on asphalt with only mild elevation changes, the route is welcoming for newer runners and walkers while still quick enough for those chasing a sharp 5K effort. Headlamps, bright colors and glow gear are encouraged, and every entry helps raise funds for the Newport Public Education Foundation, blending community fundraising with a fun, coastal night-run experience.
