Cape Cod Trail Race

10K • 20K • 30K | One Loop, Multiple Distances

The Cape Cod Trail Race is a 100% trail race designed to welcome runners of many backgrounds, paces, and experience levels—whether it’s your first trail race or your fiftieth.

All distances are run on a single 10K loop, completed:

1 loop for the 10K
2 loops for the 20K
3 loops for the 30K
Due to the nature of trail running, all distances are approximate, and last-minute route or distance changes may occur because of weather, trail conditions, or land-use considerations.

Course Overview
100% trails – no roads
A mix of open fields and single-track
The first and last ~2 miles of the loop are run through open fields and are generally fast (for trails)
The middle ~2 miles feature more single-track with rolling hills, winding turns, and some technical sections—challenging but approachable
This is a trail course that rewards focus and adaptability, without being overly extreme or intimidating.
