Ocean State Ultra

There will be a fully stocked aid station at the start area. A manned aid station will be about the 5 mile mark of each loop, roughly a mile further up than last year. There will be no unmanned water stations this year, so plan around the two stations at start and mile 5. Both aid stations have portable toilets.

Food and drink

• Basic necessities including water, electrolytes, bananas, watermelon, pickles, candy, and snacks.
• Hot meals such as ramen, pizza, and quesadillas later in the day.
• No nuts are served at aid stations, to accommodate nut allergies. You may bring nut products in your own supplies.
• Vegan, gluten intolerant, or other food restrictions: email us so we can accommodate you.

Drop bags

• Drop bags may be given to race staff for the 5 mile aid station.
• Bags must be clearly marked with your name and/or bib number.
• There is no size restriction. Small coolers are allowed.

• Every participant receives a finisher sweatshirt.
• 100 mile finishers receive a buckle.
• Participants running 20 miles or more receive one challenge coin, showing miles run in increments of 10.

Parking is offsite. A shuttle will transport participants and spectators to the race start location.

• Primary parking (shuttle provided): Park & Ride, Hopkins Hill Rd, 39-41 Hopkins Hill Rd, West Greenwich RI
• Overflow parking (shuttle provided, only if the primary lot is full): 92 New London Turnpike, West Greenwich RI

Start/Finish: West Greenwich Sand Dunes, 145-151 Division Rd, West Greenwich RI. Some onsite parking may be available for 100 milers based on availability, but this is not guaranteed.

All three race categories begin on Saturday, August 21st. 100 mile runners have 36 hours, until 6pm on Sunday, August 22nd, to finish.

All three race categories are chip-timed through Orbiter Timing. Results will be posted on Ultrasignup and the race website.

Every runner should hear a beep each time they pass the start/finish line. If you do not, come to the timing table immediately to confirm your lap was counted.
