About the 33rd Annual Martha's Vineyard Memorial Road Race & Fun Run
The course runs along Oak Bluffs harbor and out toward East Chop Lighthouse, so there is open water in view for most of the route. It is a USATF-certified road course, mostly flat along the waterfront, and the island setting gives it a character you do not get at a typical mainland race.
Bib pickup happens the afternoon before at the Summercamp Hotel, where the race also starts and finishes, with a second pickup window on race morning. A virtual option exists for those who cannot make it to the island on race day. The race benefits a local hospice and end-of-life care organization serving the island community.
