About the Race of Hope Southampton
The course loops around Lake Agawam, a small lake in the heart of Southampton. The route is flat and paved, which draws a wide range of participants, from people running hard for placement to those walking alongside strollers. The surroundings are quiet village residential, with water visible for much of the way.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at an early pickup option, with race-morning registration available if you arrive before the start. The event opens well before the gun, so there is time to sort your bib without rushing.

The Race of Hope Southampton has been held every year since at least 2019. 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.
