Please join us Saturday, November 4, for a family-friendly 5k walk, run, roll, or stroll along the banks of the Pawtuxet River! Featuring 3 trestle bridges along the Coventry Greenway, a rail trail known as the Washington-Secondary bike path, enjoy views of the river, two majestic mills, and a jog through Anthony Historic District, on the National Register of Historic Places. Feel the crisp Autumn air at the starting line by Rice Memorial Field and take in beautiful foliage as the morning fog slowly rises off the still water of the pond before the rushing over the dams at Laurel Ave and Clariant Falls. Celebrate the Pawtuxet River with us, just minutes from Route 95, in the historic village of Anthony. All proceeds benefit the Pawtuxet River Authority and Watershed Council, which has been protecting, conserving, and restoring the Pawtuxet River and its watershed for over 50 years! We are a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization serving Cranston, Coventry, Scituate, Warwick, and West Warwick where the mainstem, south, and north branches of the Pawtuxet River flows. Our mission is to enhance water quality and wildlife habitats; create opportunities for public passive recreation; and promote the environmental, cultural and historic significance of the Pawtuxet River and its watershed. Participants can get more details, or sign up at RunSignUp.com ​

Sponsors Needed! Please consider supporting Our Pawtuxet River 5k: Run of the Mills!

Businesses interested in sponsoring the event may donate cash, goods or services (see our wish-list below). Sponsoring our event strengthens our organization's planning and operational support, while providing an opportunity for local businesses to increase their community engagement and visibility to the 250,000 residents that live in our Pawtuxet River watershed.  There are several benefits to donating to the 5k, and we are offering a number of sponsorship levels with increasing levels of visibility to market your brand (see sponsorship benefits table below). However, there are a limited number of spots for donors to maximize their reach with different features, and those levels will be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis, so reserve your sponsorship spot today at www.pawtuxet.org (sorry, the High Water Mark Sponsorship Level has already been claimed). Sponsorship form, logo art, and payment must all be received by October 15, 2023 to ensure donors receive full sponsorship benefits.
