Join the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse as they celebrate one of Rhode Island’s maritime treasures – the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse. Run through beautiful Riverside and choose from a 5k or 10k distance and help us raise some funds for this historic piece of architecture. The 10k race includes sweeping views of the lighthouse.
Pomham Rocks Lighthouse sits on an island in the Providence River about 200 yards off the shoreline of the Riverside neighborhood of the city of East Providence, Rhode Island. The light was established in 1871.
