Falmouth Mile & Road Race

The race is seven miles long and begins in front of the Woods Hole Community Center, near the drawbridge on Water Street. The course proceeds out of Woods Hole and takes a right onto Church Street, then winds around Nobska Lighthouse and continues along the winding, hilly, tree-lined road. At three miles the course emerges from the woods and continues for 1.5 miles along the beach, right next to the waters of Vineyard Sound. It then turns left onto Shore Street and, 400 yards later, right onto Clinton Avenue. At the end of Clinton Avenue it turns left onto Scranton Avenue, then 600 yards later right onto Robbins Road and the top of Falmouth Harbor. At the end of Robbins Road it turns right onto Falmouth Heights Road and continues until runners once again meet the ocean. At this point it turns left and heads up the hill and down the road to the finish line, near the Falmouth Heights Ball Field. The first three miles are narrow, hilly, winding tree shaded roads, while the last four miles are open on the flat right next to Martha's Vineyard Sound. A small steep hill lets you know that you are beginning the last half-mile of the race. Once you crest the hill it is "all downhill" to the finish.
