Cape Cod Marathon Weekend 2019On your marks, get set, go! Cape Cod Marathon 2022 is coming right up: October 1st and 2nd, in Falmouth, MA. Now is the time to make your plans to come compete or cheer on the runners!

The annual Cape Cod Marathon is always a good time.  As you may have heard, the course was updated in 2019 to a flatter, faster, and best of all, more scenic route. Where the old course traversed the roads and hills of Falmouth, much of the new course hugs the Cape Cod shoreline. The Start/Finish line remains where it has always been, on Falmouth’s Main Street.

Cape Cod Marathon Lodging Special

As another perk, Captain’s Manor Inn, located just steps from the start/finish line on Falmouth’s Main Street, is offering a Falmouth lodging special for this event.

Runners Special: Stay two nights at the regular price and receive your third night at half price! You’ll also enjoy a full breakfast each morning – or a runner’s lighter option the day of your race. It’s up to you!

This lodging special is good for any Captain’s Manor Inn guestroom and any combination of nights. Please call direct – 508 388-7336 – for availability.
