Abstract: For $2leqdleq5$, we show that the class of the Hurwitz space of smooth degree $d$, genus $g$ covers of $mathbb{P}^1$ stabilizes in the Grothendieck ring of stacks as $goinfty$, and we give a formula for the limit. We also verify this stabilization when one imposes ramification conditions on the covers, and obtain a particularly simple answer for this limit when one restricts to simply branched covers.
