The best spots to run in Rhode Island's capital: the East Bay Bike Path, Roger Williams Park, College Hill, Blackstone Boulevard Park., and a 'runseeing' tour of downtown.
The best running in this popular vacation spot is along Narragansett Beach and some of the nearby roads, Point Judith out to the lighthouse, the Galilee area near the Block Island ferry, and the O'Neill Bike Path between Narragansett and Kingston.
Pretty much this entire island is a running treat! We've mapped a 10-mile 'Block Island Tour', plus other highlights including Mohegan Trail, Corn Neck Rd. to the Lighthouse, Clay Head, and Crescent Beach.
Wonderful running in the Westerly area: classic beaches to historic homes and beautiful waterside roads. Here are two great runs on Misquamicut Beach and pretty roads around Weekapaug. Can also connect to Watch Hill.
In Westerly, enjoy the pretty town center, Wilcox Park, Victorian homes along Elm St., and riverside Mechanic St. Our 6.2-mile Watch Hill tour features the scenic highlights of this historic coastal resort, with gorgeous homes & water views.
There's lovely running in this area straddling the Rhode Island/Connecticut border. Enjoy oceanside running in Noank and Grotin Long Point, loops of tony & historic Stonington, Watch Hill, Westerly, & Mystic, and some park trails.
Great option for a scenic off-road run through Cumberland, Lincoln, and Woonsocket. The 10-mile paved multi-use path that follows the Blackstone River, with some nice water views. Combination of woods, waterfront, and a couple of industrial sections.
