angry unicorn 2026

The Angry Unicorn Half Marathon, first run in 2015 and now in its 10th year, has become a fixture for runners seeking a straightforward, fast course. With a median field size of around 148 finishers and growing, this Rhode Island race draws participants from approximately 29 states, highlighting its appeal beyond local borders.

The course is a certified, flat, and fast loop, designed to be conducive to personal bests. The typical race-day weather in late spring offers mild temperatures, making it an ideal environment for competitive running. While repeat-runner loyalty is modest at about 5%, the race's consistent organization and performance-oriented course continue to attract a dedicated field.

Organized by Ocean State Multisport, the event emphasizes participation and building confidence. Runners can expect efficient packet pickup and an early start, setting the stage for a well-executed race day focused on the running experience.
