The Blazin’ Battle Against Brain Cancer

The 2026 Unified 5k and AdaptXpo is an inclusive road race and adaptive sports expo designed so that everyone can participate, whether they run, walk, row, or roll. The event raises critical funds for AdaptX education, research, community events, fitness programming, and grant initiatives. The Unified 5k is a space where athletes with and without disabilities show up together, challenge perceptions, and prove that fitness and sport are more meaningful when everyone has a place at the starting line.

Join us on June 6th at Cumberland High School for our 2nd Annual Unified 5k in Cumberland, RI. Participants have the opportunity to run, walk, roll, or row either the 5k (3.1 mile) or 2k course. Arrive early or hang around after the event to check out our vendors and clinics at the AdaptXpo, a celebration of organizations that focus on health, inclusion, accessibility, assistive technology, and adaptive sports.

Help us make fitness and physical activity accessible for every body.

Experience the thrill of running before a pre-assembled cheering crowd as excitement builds for the annual Gaspee Days Parade. Each year, more than 2,000 runners take part in this beloved event, racing along the Parkway’s iconic red, white, and blue road stripe. Whether you’re competing for a prize or running just for fun, your participation helps support one of the community’s most cherished traditions—all proceeds benefit the Gaspee Days Parade.

RACE DETAILS

The race starts at 9:30 AM sharp on Broad Street at Chiswick Road, Cranston, RI. The course spans 5K (3.1 miles) and was bicycle calibrated by Ray Nelson. It runs south on Broad Street into Warwick onto Narragansett Parkway then turns at General Hawkins Drive and returns north. The race finish line is just past the Parade reviewing stand at Rhodes Place. Timing and results are coordinated by Spitler Race Systems.

• Due to the timing of the Parade, which immediately follows the 5K, the race has a strict cut-off time of one hour. You must be able to complete the 5K distance within this timeframe.

• The race is capped at 2,000 people: sign up early.

• There will be no RACE DAY registrations. All sign-ups must be completed by Friday night. Bandits will not be tolerated.

The TVFR Woodland Trail Series will be in its 28th year. The event takes place at West Hill Dam in Uxbridge MA in the early evenings on the last Thursday of June, July and August.

This is a trail race on well-marked courses through single/double track trails and gravel roads. Each race will offer a different course to experience all West Hill has to offer.

The Trail Series is designed for runners. If you plan to walk any part of the course, we ask that you notify us and plan on starting earlier than the posted start times. This is to help keep our volunteers from being out on the course for longer than required.

Run all 3 races and be eligible for the overall male and female championship.

There will be no Day-Of Registration. Each race will be limited to 125 runners. Parking is limited, please arrive early to get to the designated parking area. The gate access to the start area will close approximately at 5:30. Limited parking is available at the Dam entrance but it's a 3/4 mile warmup run to the start line.

For safety and insurance reasons we can not allow dogs to participate in the race. Also, note that the course is not stroller friendly.

For more than 50 years, the Arnold Mills 4M Road Race has been a staple event in Cumberland, RI. Held every Fourth of July holiday, the popular four-mile race draws an average of 500 participants each and every year to the starting line, including some top talent from throughout the state and often from beyond the borders. The race, which is run on a moderately-challenging course in a rural community, takes part in conjunction with the town's annual parade. In years past, U.S. Olympians Matt Centrowitz Sr. and Pete Pfitzinger, triathlon legend Karen Smyers, and RI marathon icon Bobby Doyle have made their marks at Arnold Mills. Become part of the tradition!
