South Kingstown Council approves annual Angry Unicorn Half Marathon for November 2025

The South Kingstown Town Council meeting on April 28, 2025, kicked off with a pledge of allegiance and a significant land acknowledgment honoring the indigenous peoples of the area. This statement highlighted the town's commitment to recognizing and partnering with the tribes whose land and water they benefit from today.

The council proceeded to approve the minutes from previous meetings and the consent agenda without any discussion. However, the spotlight turned to a resolution granting a permit for the annual Angry Unicorn Half Marathon and 5K road race, scheduled for November 2, 2025.

Gary Manesian, representing Ocean State Multisport, presented details about the event, which will start at Matunuck Elementary School. The half marathon begins at 8 AM, followed by the 5K at 8:15 AM. Manesian emphasized the community involvement, mentioning police support for traffic management and volunteers assisting throughout the race.

This event not only promotes physical fitness but also serves as a marketing opportunity for the town, encouraging residents to participate and enjoy the scenic route. The council's approval of the permit marks a continued tradition of community engagement through local events.
