The 45th Hyannis Marathon, Half Marathon, 10Km & Marathon Team Relay on March 1, 2026 is one of the premier winter race events in New England. It's the first distance race event of the year with runners from all over New England hoping to either run a personal record, cover the distance for the first time, maybe qualify for the Boston Marathon or to just get moving again after a winter of cold and slow runs!
10:00 AM start for all participants in the Sunday races, except those who signed up for the special marathon early start, which is at 9:30 AM (ONLY for those who will take longer than 5 hours to complete the race).
The Race Courses Start & Finish at the Cape Cod Irish Village at The Emerald Resort & Conference Center...the best place to stay!!
The courses are extremely picturesque and historical, passing along the Barnstable Police Officer Michael Aselton Memorial Park, Historic Hyannis Harbor, John F. Kennedy Memorial, Kalus Beach, Lewis Bay & the Kennedy Family Compound in Hyannisport, Craigville Beach and the beautiful village of Centerville.
The course is paved and mostly flat and gentle, with a few rolling areas ideal for a late winter/early spring PR.
