This coming Sunday morning, July 13th, the Amica Ironman 70.3 Rhode Island is coming to Coventry. Actually, it is coming through our town. There are about 2,000 people who signed up for this event, are we ready for it?
The swim takes place in Narragansett, the cycling route comes through Coventry starting at Exit 7, north through Arnold Rd. to Sandy Bottom to Washington St. and north through Knotty Oak Rd. and into Scituate. The run part will be held in Providence. The event starts at 6 am at Roger Wheeler Beach, so the bike riders should be in town beginning after 8:30 am or so.
