The Boots on the Ground for Heroes Memorial 5K Walk/Run will take place following a ceremony honoring the 29 Rhode Islander’s killed post 9/11 in the Global War on Terror. The course will run through picturesque Fort Adams State Park and begin and end on the parade field inside the historic Fort. Proceeds from the 5k will support the Memorial and Operation Stand Down Rhode Island, the State’s primary non-profit serving homeless and at-risk veterans.

Registered participants are asked to arrive beginning at 7:30am. A 25-minute ceremony honoring the fallen will begin at 9:00am, followed by the start of the Run/Walk at 10:00 am.

The Boots on the Ground for Heroes Memorial was launched by OSDRI in 2016. The Memorial depicts over 7,000 boots adorned with flags and name placards representing the lives of the U.S. service members killed in action post-9/11 in the Global War on Terror. The exhibition has been seen by tens of thousands of visitors since its creation. Every fallen service member is included in the Memorial; service members are alphabetized by state, allowing individuals to locate friends, comrades, and loved ones. Tragically, the Memorial continues to grow each year as the Global War on Terror continues.

Every participant will receive 2026 Boots on the Ground for Heroes t-shirt.

Experience Newport like never before at the Newport Sprint Triathlon presented by Trident Waterproofing and Masonry. Set against the backdrop of Newport’s unmatched early-summer energy and iconic coastal scenery, this event delivers fast racing, ocean views, and a truly memorable way to kick off the season. Whether it’s your first triathlon or you’re a seasoned competitor, this race is designed to be welcoming, exciting, and true to the spirit of coastal New England.

Athletes will take on a classic sprint-distance course that showcases some of the most scenic and historic terrain in coastal Rhode Island. The race begins with a 1/3 mile protected swim inside the calm Fort Adams cove beside the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry. From there, athletes head out on an 11.6 mile bike ride along the world-famous Ocean Drive, featuring rolling terrain, nonstop ocean vistas, and classic Newport landmarks. The race wraps up with a 3 mile run through Fort Adams State Park, including stretches inside the historic fort itself and along its beautiful waterfront grounds.

Come race, explore, and enjoy a classic Newport morning at one of New England’s most unique sprint triathlons.
