Cape Cod Marathon

Experience the Cape Cod Marathon, a testament to endurance and scenic beauty since its inception at Otis AFB and now set in picturesque Falmouth. With a single-loop certified course, this marathon caters to competitive spirits and nature enthusiasts alike. Athletes will find a thrilling blend of flat terrains extending through the initial ten miles and concluding three miles, with invigorating rolling mounds between the 11th and 23rd miles. The course peaks at an elevation of about 100 feet (30 m), offering a dynamic challenge. Typically, the climate provides ideal running conditions with temperatures ranging from 45 to 60 degrees, clear skies, and a gentle westerly breeze. The thoughtful course design minimizes wind resistance, turning potential gusts into a strategic advantage with tailwinds in open areas and natural protection in headwind-prone sections. Enjoy the vibrant backdrop of peak fall foliage, adding aesthetic wonder to your athletic journey. Hosted by The Falmouth Track Club, this marathon is an ideal venue for both personal bests and memorable running experiences.
