Every year, the Pell Bridge Run gives participants a rare chance to walk or run across the Newport Pell Bridge. This 4-mile, point-to-point race starts in Jamestown and finishes in downtown Newport, welcoming runners and walkers of every age and pace.
This year, Special Olympics Rhode Island is honored to be one of the race's selected beneficiaries, with a team of athletes, coaches, and LETR members taking on the course alongside everyone else.
