the country and nationally ranked. Runner's World has named the Cow Harbor
Race as one of the top 100 races in the USA. New England Runner regularly places
The Great Cow Harbor 10K Run in its Top 100 Races, stating "Big
race atmosphere in a small town on the Island; it's a winner! Who says
those "rolling" courses can't be fun?"

Race For Charity
This year the Great Cow Harbor 10K Run is proud to support Special Olympics, the Veterans Administration, and our local food pantry. We collected used cell phones that will be processed by Celtek and the proceeds will be donated to the Food Pantry.
Chip Timing
The Cow Harbor
Race features express chip timing. Finishing times are available faster than ever
before. For those not familiar with this method of timing, a disposable timing chip is fastened to the bibs of all participants resulting in a smoother finish line with runners exiting the area quickly. There is no need to return the chip to an official. As you cross
the finish line your time will be automatically recorded and placed into
the finish database. Finish times will be displayed at a designated location
in the Northport Village Park.

Major sponsors include Capital One, Michelob Ultra, New Balance, King Kullen, Optimum, Gatorade, Super Runners Shops, News 12, Bulova, UPS, WBAB FM 102.3, Snyder's of Hanover, Entenmanns, Cabot Creamery, Immaculate Baking Co., Raphael Vineyards, Poland Spring, Polar, Red Bull, PowerBar, Vintage Seltzer, Carolina Jasmine Rice, and the Village of Northport.
