We suggest that runners park near the finish line area and take one of the free buses provided for participating runners to the start in Woods Hole.
Please park in public parking areas such as public beach lots, Falmouth Recreation Department and Falmouth Town Hall Square.
Buses will leave from the finish line area beginning at 9:00AM. The last bus to the start in Woods Hole will leave at 10:15AM.

Runners will be released onto the race course in 3 pulses. All finish times are net time vs. gun time, and the winner is the first male/female to cross the finish line. Runners should self-seed appropriately at the start, with faster runners lining up at the front of the field.

We hope you will stay and enjoy our race day post-race party at Shipwrecked Restaurant. Enjoy snacks, full-service menu items, beer and football!
