About the Harns Marsh 5K & 12K
The courses run through Harns Marsh on open trails, with wide skies and wildlife all around. The longer distance pushes further into the West Marsh, so it covers different ground rather than repeating the shorter loop. Underfoot it is trail running, not pavement, and the surroundings feel more like a nature preserve than a road race.
The race runs alongside the Wings Over Water Festival, which brings food vendors, a fishing derby, and a touch-a-truck event to the same site. Packet pickup the evening before is at a Fleet Feet location, with race-morning pickup also available at the marsh itself.

The Harns Marsh 5K & 12K 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 Nov 12, 2026.
