Shad Bloom 10K
15 High St New Shoreham
From 07:00 PM to 09:00 PM
This spring race (an island favorite) takes runners over a scenic 10K course with breathtaking views of beautiful Block Island. The race includes a little bit of everything: dirt roads with stone walls and rolling pastures, a winding track overlooking the Atlantic, and at mile 4 racers meet "the wall", a steep, double tiered, narrow climb. Every mile is different. This race has a loyal following. Questions ? Please call 401-466-3223 ask for Dave or Dawn. Or send us an email at recreation@new-shoreham.com.
