Make sure you follow these arrows spray painted or posted signs on the corners and roads to the finish. There are double arrows at all the turns and confirmation arrows on the straight sections. If you don t see double arrows DON T TURN. There will be flaggers and Police at Major Intersections. Misquamicut is extremely quiet this time of year. There WILL NOT be a volunteer at every small cross road in the neighborhoods. Use your head and always take a quick look before crossing any intersection! Even with police and volunteers, cars do not always heed to the runners!
POST RACE FUN! We will be providing water, pizza, bagels, muffins, fresh fruit and cookies and other goodies post-race.
