The Providence Marathon and Half Marathon races have been canceled for 2024.
Organizers cited what they termed "unforeseen challenges," including the closure of the Washington Bridge.
The group informed competitors they may defer their registration to next year's event, transfer their entry to another race, or request a refund by April 18th.
City spokesperson Jose Estrella says safety remains the top priority, and a new route will be mapped out.
