Marin & Murphy Is Proud to Sponsor the Bob Houghtaling 5K in Warwick

At Marin & Murphy Law Firm, community is not just a word we use in our marketing — it is the reason we do what we do. Our clients are Rhode Island families, neighbors, and community members, and we believe in showing up for them beyond the courtroom. That is why we are honored to serve as a Silver Sponsor of the Bob Houghtaling 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, taking place at Goddard Memorial State Park in Warwick, Rhode Island.

This event carries real meaning. Bob Houghtaling devoted his career to helping Rhode Island communities address substance use, mental health, and youth wellness — and this race continues his legacy by bringing people together in his memory. We are proud to stand alongside fellow sponsors who share that commitment to health and community.

About the Bob Houghtaling 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk

The Bob Houghtaling 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk is a community road race held at one of Rhode Island’s most beloved parks — Goddard Memorial State Park in Warwick. The course winds through the park’s scenic grounds, past the carousel, the club house, and along the waterfront before finishing near the beach.

Whether you are a seasoned runner chasing a personal record on the 5K course or bringing the whole family out for the 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, this event has something for everyone. It is a morning of movement, community, and purpose.

Why Marin & Murphy Supports This Race

The mission behind the Bob Houghtaling 5K aligns directly with the values our firm has held since we opened our doors in Rhode Island. Bob Houghtaling spent decades working on substance abuse prevention and mental health awareness — issues that touch countless families we have had the privilege of representing. His work recognized that healthy communities are the foundation of everything else, and we believe the same.

When we sponsor events like this, we are not writing a check and calling it done. We show up. We run. We cheer. We are part of this community, and events like the Bob Houghtaling 5K remind us why that matters.

We are grateful to race organizers for putting this event together each year, and to the fellow sponsors whose support makes it possible — including Acorn Mental Health Counseling, Thrive Behavioral Health, BankNewport, The UPS Store, and AON Asian Bistro & Hibachi Grill.
