Whether you want a fun first 5K, a fast 10K, a coastal Half Marathon challenge, or a memorable Kids Fun Run, this page will help you find the right fit.
You do not need to overthink it.
The 5K is the easiest place to start, the 10K is great for runners wanting more without going all-in, the Half Marathon is for those ready for a bigger effort, and the Kids Fun Run is all about making the morning memorable for younger participants.
Walk, jog, or run. This is the most approachable option for first-timers and families.
A strong choice if you want a little more challenge while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable.
A rewarding course for runners looking for a more serious effort and a memorable July 4th challenge.
A short, festive, and confidence-building experience that makes kids feel part of the celebration.
A rewarding coastal challenge with road, trail, and one unforgettable pier experience.
This is the most demanding option of the day and ideal for runners who want their July 4th to include a real sense of effort, accomplishment, and variety.
Fast, scenic, and a great balance of challenge and fun.
The 10K is a strong choice for runners who want more than a 5K but do not want the full commitment of the Half Marathon. It offers a smooth course, coastal scenery, and a satisfying effort without overwhelming the day.
The easiest, friendliest, and most approachable way to be part of the day.
If this is your first race, this is likely your best option. The 5K is simple, scenic, and low-pressure while still giving you the full Newport Celebration Run experience.
Short, festive, and memorable for younger participants.
The Kids Fun Run is all about making race morning exciting, positive, and memorable. It gives younger runners a chance to participate in the celebration and cross the finish line feeling proud.
Choose the race that fits your goals and we’ll see you on the start line this July 4th.
