Great views!

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!

Run along the ocean!

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.

Picturesque and well organizes

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!

The first time was a charm for Mike Fisher in the 31st Dunkin' Donuts Cape Cod Marathon. With balmy 65 degree temperatures at the start of the race at 8:30 a.m., the 24-year-old Brookline resident finished well ahead of the pack yesterday, with a winning time of 2 hours 33 minutes and 12 seconds in his first-ever marathon. In the women's race, 27-year-old Heidi Westerling, of Acworth, N.H., won for the fourth straight year with a time of 2 hours 50 minutes and 43 seconds.

Cape Cod Marathon picturesque, challenging

It has been saluted by Runner’s World as one of the ten most scenic marathon courses in America, and for good reason. The Cape Cod Marathon has a starting line at a quintessential New England village green, and runs through rolling farmland and around cranberry bogs. The closing miles past Nobska Light and along Vineyard Sound make the Cape Cod Marathon is a visual treat.
