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:
Running The Main Street Mile
Joined about 180 others yesterday for the Main Street Mile in Falmouth, from The Quarterdeck, down Shore St. to the Beach House at Surf Drive. Such a family-friendly race! I definitely saw three year olds, and possibly some twos. For me it was a chance to run a race again, which I haven’t done since the Falmouth Road Race four years ago. Thanks to the Falmouth Track Club for organizing such a fun event!
