The best part about a ‘Virtual’ 5K is that you can run your route anywhere! For anyone local to URI’s Kingston campus, we have a USATF approved 5K course right on our campus, complete with distinct mile markers and fully paved path.

 

If you are local to South County, Rhode Island here are two great scenic options for potential routes, remember to obey all traffic rules and physical distance:

Galilee/Point Judith: Starting at Roger Wheeler State Beach, making a loop on Sand Hill Cove Rd, Great Island Rd, Galilee Escape Rd, and Point Judith Rd (108). 

 

Narragansett Pier: Starting at the Sea Wall, making a loop around Ocean Rd, South Pier Rd, Lakewood Dr, and Narragansett Ave, around the Pier Marketplace and back down the Sea Wall.

 

 

If you’re not in the area, feel free to explore a local park, scenic drive or a new area of your town or city! Your route can be wherever you want it to be. If you want to plan your route and its distance, use Google MyMaps or OntheGoMap to measure the distance online. 

**Please be sure to follow social distancing guidelines and local regulations/closures while completing your run!**
