For 6 weeks, young athletes across Rhode Island and Massachusetts have been swimming, biking, and running toward this one incredible goal!
This finale event brings together participants from Race4Chase programs across both states to celebrate their hard work, determination, and confidence gained throughout the summer. It’s more than a race, it’s a powerful celebration of youth achievement, healthy living, and community support.
While this event is exclusively for Race4Chase participants and not open to public registration, we need enthusiastic volunteers to help make it a safe, smooth, and unforgettable experience for every child crossing that finish line.

Round out the summer with one last coastal challenge.
The Second Beach Sprint Triathlon is a late-season race set entirely within some of Aquidneck Island’s most scenic and protected landscapes. Designed to be welcoming for first-time triathletes while still offering a rewarding course for experienced racers, this sprint is the perfect way to close out your summer of training.
The Course:
Swim
The race begins with an open-ocean swim off iconic Second Beach. Athletes will experience true coastal conditions in a clearly marked course with excellent sightlines and shoreline support.
Bike
The bike leg rolls through the scenic farmland of Middletown, featuring quiet roads, open views, and gentle elevation changes that reward steady effort without being overly technical.
Run
The run is the signature piece of the race, taking athletes out toward Sachuest Point and looping around the reservoir near Third Beach and Hanging Rock Road. This section winds entirely through protected nature preserve areas, offering a rare and beautiful racing environment surrounded by open land, water, and coastal views.
