The emails can wait until tomorrow...

It’s National Leave the Office Early Day, which means you have zero excuses. Reclaim your afternoon, get outside, and enjoy a run while the sun is still up. ☀️

Go touch grass—your mind and body will thank you for it. 🌾

Our 2026 Wine Run at Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery made #2 on the list! Check it out.

Running for wine, swimming for pancakes, kayaking for poker cards, there are so many great things to jump into this month on our 8 Great Things list!

Pick up nips as many as you can while walking or running.

Take picture once a week of your haul and tag your favorite shoe brand that we carry (Brooks, Hoka, Topo, Saucony, New Balance, Mount to Coast, Mizuno).

Each week begins with Sunday, so the weeks are:
May 11-16
May 17-23
May 24-30
May 31- June 2

You don’t need to post ALL the nips each time. Just a random picture of your daily haul once a week. Make sure you tag us and the shoe company that you hope to win. Sunday is the first day of the week. So this week post one. Next week (starting 5/17) post one, and so on and so forth.

For this week's , we are looking back at a very special celebration.

On May 19, our team gathered at the Rhode Island Convention Center for a beautiful luncheon honoring our co-founders, Karen and Susan, with the GoProvidence Ambassador Award.

Karen and Susan were recognized for their vital contributions to strengthening our local tourism industry and building economic resilience in the community. Their dedication to the growth and vibrancy of Providence inspires our team every day, and we are incredibly proud to see their hard work celebrated on such a meaningful stage.

Please join us in congratulating Karen and Susan on this wonderful achievement.

Half the race, double the fun!

If you want the high-energy experience of the Bristol Independence Rhode Race without tackling the full 13.1-mile distance, grab a partner and sign up for the Two-Person Relay.

This is the perfect way to team up, push your limits, and experience America’s most patriotic town on foot.

How it works:

Leg 1: 7.5 miles (From the starting line through historic downtown to Roger Williams University)

Leg 2: 5.6 miles (From the RWU exchange point along the coastline to the waterfront finish)

We offer All-Male, All-Female, and Co-Ed team categories, making it a great fit for friends, family, or running partners. Both team members will take home a commemorative finisher medal and entry to the post-race celebration at Pivotal Brewing.

The race takes place on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Spaces are filling up, so tag your teammate and lock in your registration at the link in our bio today.
