The course set in the rural setting takes place on a secondary highway and except for the first two to three  miles takes place around Cape Sable Island in the shape of an 8. The route is basically flat, with some rolling hills and a gradual grade around the 19, 21 and 23 mile marks.  Aid stations of water and gatorade are approximately every 2 miles and the temperature is generally between 19 degrees and 23 degrees C or between 66 degrees and 76 degrees F. There is usually an offshore breeze for the majority of the course that is found to be refreshing. The Half Marathon starts the same time as the Marathon and follows the same route until you get to the end of the top of the 8 then you return to the causeway where both races finish.
