Beginning at the Gay Head Cliffs at 10:30 a.m., the course heads down State Road past the Aquinnah Town Hall, the Aquinnah Public Library and Wampanoag Tribal lands, up Moshup Trail along the beaches and crashing surf, and back to the lighthouse. Water stations are located every two miles along the course. Runners may check bags at the race tent located in the Gay Head circle, near the lighthouse.

Skates, scooters, skateboards, regular strollers and animals are prohibited on the course. Jogging strollers are allowed, but double jogging strollers are prohibited. If you choose to run with a single jogging stroller, please start at the rear of the pack. The course will close at 12:00 pm, and traffic will again be allowed on the roads. Timing will also close at 12:00 pm.

And be sure to stick around after you run for our famous After the Race Feast, with delicious food supplied by local Aquinnah merchants.
