Course & Travel Notes
The CLCF Youth Sports 5k & Youth Race takes place in Cranston, Rhode Island on September 19, 2026, with an 8:30 AM start time, so you'll want to arrive early to catch the sunrise at 6:30 AM. The venue sits at a modest 121 feet elevation, making it pretty accessible for runners of all levels. You're in luck with the airport situation—Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport is just 2.8 miles away, so getting there is super convenient. Plan for typical early fall weather with highs around 75°F and lows near 56°F, though there's about a 30% chance of rain that day, so pack layers and maybe a light jacket just in case.
