The award-winning Amica Newport Marathon and Half Marathon courses are a veritable highlight tour of the best Newport has to offer. With 13.1 and 26.2 miles of unrivaled oceanfront running, this award-winning fall classic in the City by the Sea is not to be missed! Both the marathon and half-marathon courses are beautiful but both also feature their share of rolling hills - particularly the second half of the marathon on Middletown's quiet, rural roads. The total elevation gain is measured at 847 feet, with a maximum elevation of 105 feet and minimum of 3 feet.
