Race Day Info for Competitors

We will be providing a more detailed ‘Race Bible’ in the next couple of weeks to all registered competitors, however we want to call your attention to a couple of notes:

The FAQ and Logistics page of the website are up to date. We’ll be adding transition zone information in the coming days. You can access those pages HERE and HERE
Please remember you will need to have a life jacket on both the paddle and kayak legs and you will be required to wear it. If you’re not comfortable with a vest jacket, we recommend a belt pack life jacket.
Packet pick up will be on Friday, August 5th from 1p-6p at Bank Newport’s corporate headquarters in Middletown and Saturday from 2p-5p in Narrgansett at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography. If there is an extenuating circumstance that will prevent you from picking up your packet on Friday or Saturday, please contact Julianna@
Please remember that you will need to provide proof of prior paddleboard experience by way of showing us that you’ve competed in other paddleboard races or communicating with our race director about your prior SUP/prone experience.

SUPPORT TEAMS

Everyone competing in the race will need a support team. Because your support team is extremely valuable to your success. We will be outfitting your support team member with a custom Race the State t-shirt!
