Cape Cod Marathon

Great race with excellent views of the ocean! This race route is incredibly picturesque and a good portion is along the water. There are some rolling hill portions, but they are overshadowed by the breathtaking views. You are also given the option of the Chowdah Challenge, which consists of running the Half Marathon on Saturday and running the full Marathon on Sunday. And yes, there is clam chowder as well as several other hearty soups at the end!

Small town race feels, well- organized. Unfortunately, no pacers. The course has a mix of interesting views: starts downtown, has bits along the ocean, a bike path, rural roads past a lighthouse, back along the ocean along parts of the famous Falmouth Road Race course, and more ocean, residential, before your loop back along the ocean to the finish.

Overall well organized marathon. Good pre-race communication. Small expo but friendly people. Easy in and out. Race day was organized. Nice temp in low 50's but windy. Course is beautiful with tree canopied streets, bike bath, ocean views, and friendly neighborhoods. Great small marathon!
