3.75 Mile Run/Walk “Rhode Race” to Celebrate Portsmouth’s 375th Anniversary

In honor of Portsmouth’s 375th anniversary, the Portsmouth Business Association will be hosting the Portsmouth 375 Rhode Race at Common Fence Point in Portsmouth on Saturday November 16th at 10 AM.  It is a run or walk event that is 3.75 miles long and starts and finishes at the Common Fence Point Community Center. The course is flat with beautiful scenic water views and the first 150 registered participants will receive a premium “dry fit” running shirt.  

Participants can register online at www.PortsmouthBiz.com or the morning of the race starting at 9 AM.  The cost of the event is $25 and all the proceeds go to benefit the Portsmouth High School scholarship fund. Each year, the PBA awards scholarships to two exceptional Portsmouth High School students who intend to pursue a career in business.
