The 31st running of the Cape Cod Marathon will be Sunday morning, October 26th, at 8:30 AM on the village green in downtown Falmouth. This race has been saluted by Runner's World as one of the 10 most scenic marathon courses in America. It starts at a typical New England village green, through rolling farmland and around cranberry bogs, to the Nobska Light and along Vineyard Sound. The race will include 1270 entrants competing for the full marathon and 800 runners running in a relay team.
This marathon also marks the 100th 26.2 mile road race for a Vineyard Haven "legend", Bill Brown. Bill began running marathons in 1989 and along the way has become a role model to many. He used to be overweight and smoked 3 pack of cigarettes a day! More than 100 of his friends will be there for support and to help him celebrate his 100th marathon.
If you're not a runner, this still sounds like a fun way to spend Sunday morning.
