Event Information
About this event
The Auburndale Community Association is a non-profit organization founded to promote Auburndale village in the city of Newton, MA. The ACA hosts the Rove the Cove 5k road/trail race. This year all proceeds from the race will go to support the Auburndale Community Library - our local library run by volunteers. The race starts and finishes in the picnic area of The Cove. Plenty of parking, bathroom facilities, t-shirts, water stations, and prizes raffled at the end.
Course
The course runs on wooded trails and winds through neighborhood streets. Expect gravel, roots, rocks, possibly mud on trail sections if it's been rainy.
Awards
Post race raffle. We raffle off scores of gift certificates donated by local businesses. You don't have to win the race to win a prize!!
T-shirts
Special 10th anniversary "Rove the Cove" tech t-shirt to the first 100 registrants. We will reserve t-shirts for pre-registrants so you get the size you requested. It's a crapshoot for folks who register after pre-registration period and on race day.
