About the Race of Hope - Palm Beach
The course winds through quiet residential neighborhoods and along the water in Palm Beach, so there are stretches where you can see out across the open water between the houses. The route is not technical, and the surroundings do most of the work. Strollers and dogs are welcome, which shapes the feel of the starting area.
The race benefits depression awareness, and that purpose is visible in the crowd. Packet pickup happens before race day. Prizes go to top overall finishers, masters, age division placers, and fundraisers, so there is a competitive thread running alongside the more casual pace of much of the field.

The Race of Hope - Palm Beach has been held every year since at least 2020. 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.
