After the race, it’s time to celebrate! 🍻 We’re thrilled to welcome Crook Point Brewing Company to the Rhode Island Half Marathon & 5K as our Beer Garden hosts.

Crook Point Brewing Company will be set up at the finish line ready to welcome runners back to Pierce Memorial Stadium with a handful of their delicious beers that are brewed locally in East Providence.

Their Brewhouse & Taproom, located at 65 Massasoit Ave, offers a stunning space perfect for a casual Saturday afternoon gathering with friends or private events in their Riverside Room overlooking the Seekonk River.

In addition to the beer garden, we’ll also have live entertainment and a food truck equipped with delicious post-race eats. The finish line will truly be the start line of this epic post-race party.

Due to demand, the Rhode Island Half Marathon will be capped at 2,000 participants. Once the half marathon field is sold out, a waitlist will be opened in the event more slots become available.

The USATF-certified and city-approved RI Half Marathon course conveniently starts and finishes at Pierce Memorial Stadium in East Providence, RI.

A fast, flat course, the Half Marathon follows Veterans Memorial Parkway before looping back to return on the East Bay Bike Path, which offers stunning views of Narragansett Bay and the Providence Skyline.
