The course is extremely picturesque & historical along Craigville Beach, Kalus Beach, historic Hyannis Harbor, Lewis Bay, John F. Kennedy Memorial, Kennedy Family Compound, Officer Michael Aselton Memorial Park, and the charming Cape Cod villages of Hyannisport & Centerville.
The course is paved and mostly flat and gentle with a few rolling areas ideal for a late winter/early spring PR.
The Hyannis Marathon is a two loop course. The Hyannis Half Marathon is a one loop course and the 10Km course is a loop course that runs along the Half Marathon course. The 10Km course is not USATF certified but is fairly accurate by wheel and very fast. The course is not closed to traffic however the traffic is very light on most of the courses. The Course is well monitored by police and volunteers.
Both the marathon and half marathon courses are USATF certified by Ray Nelson.

Capstone Photography will cover the race course, capturing photos of runners as they progress through the race. Race photos will be posted within five business days at www.capstonephoto.com for viewing and purchase. A percentage of the proceeds go to the race organization and its beneficiaries. Unlike other race photography companies, Capstone Photography puts each image ordered through an exacting post-capture optimization process, so you can be sure that each photo you receive will be the best it can be!

Shower & Changing facilities are available at the private "Hyannis Athletic Club" within the Resort & Conference Center at Hyannis and for a fee of $20.00 at the door. This represents the 1-day charge to use the facilities. You must bring your own towel, soap and shampoo.
The Hyannis Athletic Club will not supply towels under any circumstances and all runners must be respectful of all members usage of the showers. If this is NOT acceptable then it is suggested that you rent a room SOMEWHERE, if this is a priority in your life. The amenity of having shower facilities is a great one today and we understand this, however the COST of water is no longer a minor one for anyone or organization.
