About the 2026 Hanover Harvest Festival 5K
The course starts at City Hall and heads down River Road past the Historical Society, then winds through residential neighborhoods before looping back to River Road. It finishes at a historic bridge, so you get a sense of the town's older character along the way. The Crow River is close by for much of the return stretch.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at City Hall, which is also the start line. Race-morning pickup is available as a backup but closes before the gun goes off, so the night-before window is worth using if you can make it.

The 2026 Hanover Harvest Festival 5K has been held every year since at least 2025. 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.
