2023 RACE ROUTE
The Farmcoast 5k and walk heads out along Puncatest Nest Road past Nonquit Pond and up towards Seapowet Ave. Head out to the mid-way point at Seapowet bridge and turn around for the back half of the race course. This is a beautiful scenic run, with a family friendly course and slight hill towards the finish line for a bit of a challenge. We'll see you at the finish line! |
WHAT IS THE AMICABLE FARMCOAST 5K AND WALK?
The Farmcoast 5k and walk is a scenic 5k through historic Tiverton Four Corners, and along the Sakonnet River organized by the Amicable Congregational Church. Proceeds from this race help support Amicable in its mission to serve our community and beyond with programs such as T.E.A.M., our Thanksgiving Basket Project and other food drives, and in its role as a meeting house to the groups currently using the church’s facilities: Al-Anon, Greater Tiverton Community Chorus, Tiverton Garden Club, the C.O.R.E. after school arts program, and the Tiverton Historical Society. |
WHO IS AMICABLE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH?
Gathered in 1746, Amicable Congregational Church (United Church of Christ), reflects the two faces of the Tiverton community in which it is situated. The congregation’s sense of tradition and good old-fashioned neighborliness seem fitting for a church surrounded by the history and quaintness of Tiverton Four Corners, in one of the few unspoiled farming and fishing villages left along the New England coast. On the other hand, Amicable Church’s openness and progressiveness is right at home among the array of nearby artisanal shops, yoga studios, meditation centers and galleries, which signal that Tiverton is keeping with modern trends as well as spiritually seeking in a variety of ways. A member of the United Church of Christ, Amicable Church espouses the denomination’s spiritual position that “God is still speaking.” This is reflected by beliefs that view the Bible and Christian traditions through the lenses of reason, science and in the context of the many cultures and belief systems of the world. |
