Cape Cod Marathon Weekend : Falmouth, MA
The Cape Cod Marathon Weekend is produced by the Falmouth Running Club, a nonprofit running club. The event is staged in early October at the start of fall foliage and uses courses that run along Vineyard Sound and coastal roads on Cape Cod. Courses are open to traffic but are monitored by police, flaggers and volunteers.
Race offerings across the weekend include individual races, a relay and combined challenges. The marathon course is described as flat and fast and offers ocean views. The half marathon is described as a fast, scenic out-and-back route with one short hill near the 3.5 and 9.75 mile markers. The marathon relay follows the marathon course and is divided into five legs ranging from 2.8 to 7.5 miles. A Kids' Fun Run uses one or more loops around a one fifth mile cinder track.
Registration for the 2026 weekend opens on December 1. The event page lists separate entry options and pricing for each race, plus multi-race challenge entries and a merchandise only option. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
