Our "main event" is our Thursday evening fun run, which starts at 6:00pm sharp. During the winter months, we meet at Camire's Athletic Soles in Wakefield. During the summer months we meet at Narragansett Beach. (see below) All abilities are welcome!

OCTOBER THROUGH APRIL
Camire's Athletic Soles, Wakefield RI. Directions:

From the North, take Rt.1 South to the Wakefield Exit. Take a right at the end of the ramp. Drive about 0.4 miles, and take a left at the main intersection, and right into Belmont Plaza. Park near Camire's Athletic Soles.

From the South, take Rt.1 North. Take the Narragansett/Point Judith exit and go left onto Woodruff at the end of the ramp. Continue for 0.85 miles, and go right on Robinson St. Continue on Robinson St. for another 0.4 miles, at which point you'll be at the rear entrance to Belmont Plaza.

We run on the South County Bike Path for an hour (30 minutes out, turn around, 30 minutes back). Whatever your ability there will be a group of people who you can hang with for the run.

Note: the Bike Path is not lit, so we recommend that you wear reflective clothing and a headlamp!
Note: When the bike path is snow- or ice-covered, we will meet at the Twin Willows.


MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER
Meet at the south-east end of Narragansett Beach (where the seawall meets the beach parking lot). We have several courses measured out between 5 and 8 miles.

After the run, we meet back at the beach to re-hydrate. Some of us go to the Mews for dinner and drinks at about 8:45 (after going home for a shower).

Directions from Points North: Take the Narragansett Exit off Rt. 1 S. Take a left at the light and get onto the rotary. Follow the signs to Narragansett, exiting the rotary about 2/3 the way around. Take a left at the second light. Follow the road as it curves right and at your next light, you'll see the beach parking lot straight ahead.

On Tuesdays we meet at the Twin Willows to run at 6:00pm. Refreshments at the Willows immediately following the run.

Loops have been measured out around Bonnet Shores. The Blue route is exactly 1.0 mile and takes you to the start of the two- and three-mile loops. The yellow loop is exactly 3.0 miles. The green loop is exactly 2.0 miles.

In the winter we usually meet at the URI indoor track. During the summer we meet at an outdoor track, usually at Curtis Corner Middle School. As with the long runs, the time and day is variable. NRA members can receive information about the weekly track workouts via e-mail.

Our weekly "Sunrise" run starts at 5:30am from Bagelz, Wakefield RI.
We run out and back on the bike path and congregate at Bagelz after the run.

A group meets at 5:45am at the Rome Point parking lot in North Kingstown. The size of the group ranges from 0-15.

We have no formal meeting time or place for the weekend long run. Usually we meet at Narragansett beach at about 8:00am. As an NRA member, you'll receive weekly e-mail information regarding the weekend long run.

Sometimes we meet at Sophie's Coffee in Exeter, 705 South County Trail (Rte. 2), for a variety of medium and long runs. Some of them are quite challenging (hilly!). You can browse and print out the routes from this pdf document.
