Welcome to the website of the Jamestown Classic, the most scenic bicycle Road Race in Rhode
Island. On Columbus Day,
Monday, October 14, 2019 we will celebrate the 44th edition of this fun
event. The race is the main fundraising event for the Jamestown Rotary Club. Proceeds from the race are used to
support local, national and international causes. In recent years, these funds have been used to purchase wheelchairs
for underprivileged individuals in Nicaragua, create a women's literacy project in Ghana, purchase new music
chairs for the Jamestown Middle School, support the local Boy Scouts,
contribute toward research for a cure to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and assist in the maintenance of a clean water
project in Cambodia, among other noteworthy items. Quite simply, these projects would not be possible without your
support and participation in the Jamestown Classic Bicycle Race.
Racing begins at 8:30 AM.
Jamestown offers one
of the most scenic race venues with a course that circuits the island with
stretches of bucolic forest and farmland to vistas of the East and West
Passages of Narragansett Bay, the Newport Bridge and historic lighthouse
at Beavertail. What a way to celebrate Columbus Day - Discover Jamestown,
lift your spirits as you help the Jamestown Rotary Club support worthy causes in
this community and the world.
