NEWPORT MARATHON MISSION STATEMENT

 Newport Booster Club

After many years of supporting the Newport Marathon, in July of 2007 the Newport Booster Club took over the event as a club project. The Club is a non-profit organization that promotes and facilitates the character and skill development of youth through the support of sports and other extra-curricular activities at Newport High School.

The goal of the Newport Booster Club is to continue the Newport Marathon as a "First Class Experience" for marathon participants. In support of this mission, the Newport Booster Club is committed to the following:

  • Utilize income from the marathon for support of athletics, athletic participation scholarships, and extra-curricular activities at Newport High School with a focus on, but not limited to, track and field and cross country teams.
  • Serve as the parent organization and provide primary staffing for the marathon.
  • Assure continuation of the marathon’s economic benefits to Newport and the greater Lincoln County region.
