The Aquidneck 10K starts and finishes at Second Beach in Middletown, Rhode Island, following a flat, scenic loop past beach grass and sand dunes and around the Norman Bird Sanctuary before returning along the shoreline. First held in 2019 and run every March, the race is title-sponsored by Southcoast Health and presented by NPT HealthWorks. The field is capped at 1,200 runners, and a portion of every entry fee is donated to the Norman Bird Sanctuary. Finishers receive a race shirt and medal featuring a loon, a nod to the birds that winter along Aquidneck Island's coast. Awards go to the top three male and female overall finishers, and parking is available on-site at Second Beach.
