The Running Festival
will be held in conjunction with the Blackstone Valley Tourism
Foundation’s second annual R.I. Cherry Blossom Festival. The Running
Festival will consist of three races – the Blackstone Valley Half
Marathon, the Cherry Blossom Youth 1K and the Cherry Tree 5K.
The 5K and 1K will
take place entirely in the city with the kids’ race solely on Cherry
Tree Lane. The half marathon, which begins and ends at the City
Hall, will showcase the Blackstone Valley area. Its out-and-back
course will go through four communities, including Pawtucket,
Central Falls, Cumberland and Lincoln.
More details
and an event website will be announced shortly.
