Marathon Sunday, under gray skies and spitting raindrops, 52 degrees – probably perfect weather to run 26 miles, except maybe the breeze was a little too energetic. Kudos to all the runners and their supporters! Hope you enjoyed the new route along the shore! Also, kudos to the team behind the marathon, who put in long days to make this beautiful event happen!
Cape Cod Marathon
Here are the front runners coming through West Falmouth this morning around 9:50. They make running 26 miles so easy, don’t they? Ideal weather, 59 degrees, cloudy, little wind.
Chatted with Jack and AJ from the Civil Air Patrol who were keeping runners and cars separate this morning in West Falmouth. Interesting observations from someone who’s been doing this for years. Listen in…
Cape Cod Marathon
Yesterday’s Cape Cod Marathon was a balmy 64-68 degrees. Back in the day, I volunteered with the Falmouth Track Club to help with this event, and was stationed at Mile 21, at the corner of School and Water Streets in Woods Hole. It was always freezing, and a couple of years there was snow and sleet. Global warming has happened fast! But yesterday was certainly nicer for the runners, maybe even a bit too warm. Here are some photos I took of the finish line before the runners got there:
