Strava Segment of the Week: South Jetty Sprint in Newport

We are highlighting this route this week because the Ardor Adventures’ underrated Run Love Run is upon us and 2 of the 3 distances (8k and 30k) will tackle this segment as a part of their miles.

The South Jetty Sprint is 0.7 miles of flat running and I believe every distance of this race will cover this timeframe (though 5kers may have to add a few more steps to get to the end. The segment starts on SW 26th/SW Jetty Way just west of Abalone and follows SW Jetty to the Jetty Trailhead. It’s been attempted almost 1300 times times by over 400 people. Even if you aren’t racing this weekend, his is a great one to try the next time you are in Newport.
