Cape Cod Trail Race

About Cape Cod Trail Race...This race will benefit the following charitable non-profit groups:Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands, Lyme Awareness of Cape Cod, and The Cape Wildlife Center.
The course consists of two loops: a 10K loop (red on map) through fields and forests on trails that are 60% doubletrack and 40% singletrack, and a 0.7 mile doubletrack loop (blue dotted on map) though fields. 10K runners will do the 10K loop once. Half-Marathon runners will start with a 10K loop, then do the 0.7 mile loop once, and finish with a second 10K loop. Marathon runners will start with a 10K loop, then do the 0.7 mile loop twice, and finish with three additional 10K loops. 50K runners will do the 10K loop five times. The footing on the course is mostly smooth trail, but there are some rutted, rooted, and rocky sections. There are a few boulders that must be hopped or dodged, and there are some short but steep uphills and downhills. The cumulative elevation gain on the 10K loop is about 480 feet (same for elevation loss), and the 0.7 mile loop is nearly flat. The course will be well-marked with signs and flagging. There will be water, electrolytes, and trail food at the start/finish line and two water stations on the course. Runners must start their last 10K loop by 2:15 pm. The course closes at 4 pm.
The primary drive behind this race is to raise money for charitable organizations. As the race motto says, “Run Forward. Give Back.”
