Hyannis Marathon
Hyannis Marathon is a flat marathon in Hyannis, USA, held each March. Two loops of a paved course on Cape Cod, passing Craigville Beach, Hyannis Harbor and the Kennedy Memorial. The organiser calls it mostly flat and gentle, with a few rolling areas. Early March on Cape Cod is cold and often windy off the water, with typical temperatures of -2 to 7°C. On a course as flat as Hyannis Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
