South Foster Volunteer Fire Company
12th Annual Fall Foliage 5K & 10K Run/Walk
Enjoy a crisp fall morning run/walk through the beautiful northwestern Rhode Island countryside at the height of the foliage season. Beginning and ending in historic Foster Center, our challenging course will take you down quiet country roads, passing historic sites and homes, pastoral meadows, and picturesque farmland.
The Swamp Meadow covered bridge will be closed for maintenance through November 1st. As a result, we have had to adjust the 10K course to ensure a safe and enjoyable race experience for everyone. Unfortunately, due to the change in route, this year’s 10K race will not be USATF-certified.
We understand that changes to the route may affect your race strategy, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our priority is to maintain the integrity and safety of the event, and we believe that the revised route will still provide an exciting and challenging race.
An updated route map will be shared by August 1st. Note: the 5K course is unaffected.
Pre-registration is $30; Day-Of Registration price increases to $35
New this year - 12 and Under 5K Registration is $15; Day-Of Registration price increases to $20
