Hyannis Marathon 2025

The Hyannis Marathon is a premier winter race event in New England, attracting runners from across the region. Its two-loop course offers a scenic journey starting and finishing at the Cape Cod Irish Village at The Emerald Resort & Conference Center. Runners can expect to traverse through picturesque and historical regions, including the Barnstable Police Officer Michael Aselton Memorial Park, Historic Hyannis Harbor, and the John F. Kennedy Memorial, among others. The stunning views of Kalus Beach, Lewis Bay, and the Kennedy Family Compound in Hyannisport are highlights of this mostly flat, paved course, which is peppered with a few rolling areas, providing an excellent opportunity for an early spring personal record (PR). Despite its status as a Boston Marathon qualifier, the race's charm lies in its unpredictable winter weather, ranging from snow to ice and cold temperatures, adding a thrilling challenge for participants. The marathon starts at 10:00 AM, with an early start available. Well-monitored by police and volunteers, the course offers a combination of safety with the excitement of a race not closed to traffic. Also featured in the marathon weekend are races like the Hyannis Half Marathon, 10K, and Marathon Team Relay, catering to various levels of runners. This race not only promises a competitive marathon experience but also a chance for runners to enjoy the quaint charm and hospitality of Hyannis, while staying at convenient accommodations like the Cape Cod Irish Village.
