Aid Stations

We have 14 water stations on the marathon course. All of them provide both water and Gatorade. They are spaced roughly every two miles apart, but not exactly. As you are nearing the late stages of the race, the water stations are placed one mile apart at miles 23, 24 and 25.
The water stations will also be stocked with first aid kits to treat minor issues, such as blisters or bruises. Medical Tents at the finish line will be staffed with medical personnel and supplies to handle any medical issues that may arise.

Aid Stations – Sponsored by Martha’s Vineyard Bank Charitable Foundation and Eagle Events Management.

Cape Cod Marathon Relay Driving Directions

IMPORTANT – FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL RUNNERS, PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE ON THE RACE COURSE.

DO NOT USE YOUR GPS DEVICE TO NAVIGATE, AS IT MAY WANT TO TAKE YOU ONTO THE RACE COURSE (Not a good idea).

Some sections of the course will be closed to vehicle traffic, so if you try to drive on the course, you will probably get stopped and may not make it in time to the next Relay Exchange Zone.

The easiest way to navigate to the Relay Exchange Zones is to follow these instructions and the yellow line on the map in your race packet.

For runner turn-by-turn directions please refer to the Route Map page on the Marathon page.
