## About

Celebrate Thanksgiving morning with the beloved Newport Pie Run 5K and Family Turkey Trot, set against the dramatic coastal fortifications of historic Fort Adams State Park. Runners, walkers, and multi-generational family groups wind along the edge of Narragansett Bay and Newport Harbor, enjoying sweeping ocean views, sailboats skimming the water, and the dramatic arches of the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge. The highlight of the race awaits each registered finisher at the finish line: a freshly baked, full-sized Thanksgiving pumpkin or apple pie boxed and ready for the family holiday table. Children wearing handmade turkey headbands and pilgrim bonnets participate in the kids fun dash around the fortress parade grounds. The brisk coastal breeze and festive camaraderie make this coastal trot a cherished Rhode Island holiday custom.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved roadways and wide coastal park paths allow seamless navigation for rugged jogging strollers and standard strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated visitor center restrooms with baby changing tables, plus coastal lawn benches overlooking Newport Harbor.
• Age Suitability: Designed for all ages; children under 10 adore the kids dash, while grandparents and stroller parents comfortably walk the 5K course.
• Sensory Tips: Coastal breezes and ocean waves provide natural background white noise; cheering at the finish arch is lively and energetic.
