Brief Description

The 2010 Big Wild Life Runs are bigger and better this year. Whether they are wilder, only time will tell. (After all, last year a moose was seen at around mile 23.) We have even more sponsors in the community, and we’ve made sure to keep our reputation for providing—as part of the swag— some of the best technical t shirts around. If you’ve never taken part in the Big Wild Life Runs, you are in for a treat.

2010 Race Course

This year the course for the 5K, half marathon, and 26.2 races have been redesigned to give runners more time on downtown streets before heading out on the coastal trail. The course is pretty flat, and when it gets a little hilly there’s always the distraction of the view and the wild life.

8:00 a.m. Humpy's Marathon Walk
8:10 a.m. Children's Hopsital at Providence Kids' 2K
9:00 a.m. Humpy's Marathon/Marathon Relay and Skinny Raven Half Marathon
