                Join us in Coventry, Rhode Island for the 11th anniversary of the Nifty Fifty Ultras. The 5.4-mile course in rural southwestern Rhode Island is a great place to run an ultra. During the past decade the Nifty Fifty has played host to many ultrarunner’s first venture into the sport. In addition, some of the country’s finest performances have been turned in at the Nifty Fifty. Last year’s winning time of 5:42:44 by Jim Garcia was the fastest 50-mile run in North America for the year 2001. We would love to have you join us for the 11th anniversary of the race this November.
