About the Run the Cove Half Marathon 10K & 5K
The route begins on a nature preserve greenway and winds past ballfields, through an underpass tunnel, and along a ponds path before moving through the Hampton Cove neighborhoods. There are rolling hills on the back half before the course returns to the greenway. It is a mix of paved trail, open water views, and quiet residential streets.
The start area is at an elementary school, and the finish line setup is modeled after a local staging tradition. Several local fitness studios and businesses sponsor the aid stations along the way. Post-race food and a finish line gathering are part of the plan after you cross.

The Run the Cove Half Marathon 10K & 5K has been held every year since at least 2017. 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.
