2012 Cape Cod Marathon Starts With Canon Blast

The Cape Cod Marathon 2012 started with a loud bang from a signal canon. Hurricane Sandy provided cloudy sky's and temperatures perfect for a long distance run. The road race takes place in Falmouth MA. Main St and runs 26 miles along the beach then into the back roads of Thomas Landers RD North Falmouth MA.
In the thirty-two years, the marathon has been run on three routes, two at Otis Air Force Base and one in Falmouth. The Otis race course was out and back and multiple loop layouts that were flat and not scenic. Running past rows of abandoned World War II barracks 3 times did not bring images of Cape Cod! But for runners whose only objective was to qualify for the Boston Marathon, it was a perfect setting. And for those involved in staging the event, it was easy and cheap.

In 1984, Falmouth's Track Club moved the marathon to Falmouth's one loop course, which Runner's World has called one of the ten most scenic in the United States. The challenging course is typical of New England's glaciated topography -- relatively flat for the first half and rolling hills in the second. By its layout, it simply does not forgive the runner who has not properly prepared or is dumb enough to go out too fast. Yet, year in and year out about 30% of experienced marathoners PR on the course.
