About the Edenton Nut Run
The course moves through historic downtown Edenton and out into working peanut fields that are close to harvest, so the scenery shifts pretty dramatically mid-run. Roads mix with gravel farm tracks, and the waterfront and colonial streetscape bookend the rural stretch. Several distance options let you run short, long, or back-to-back if you want to push it.
The race is tied to the Peanut Festival, and the celebration kicks off right after the finish. A parade rolls through downtown, there is live music on porches along the main streets, and a kids sack race takes place on the courthouse green. Packet pickup runs the evening before at a spot on the waterfront, with race-morning pickup also available.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Edenton Nut Run has been held every year since at least 2013. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
