If you’re young or young at heart, Falmouth has recreational activities to please everyone. From a relaxing massage in one of our sophisticated spas to the thrill of hookin’ a live one, Falmouth has indoor and outdoor interests that you can enjoy year-round. Outdoor buffs can sail on sparkling waters or relax as a passenger aboard a sunset cruise, hike historic trails, golf on gorgeous greens, kayak to Washburn Island or peddle the Shining Sea Bikeway. Catch a Cape Cod Baseball League game, where
you can enjoy future major leaguers blossom before they hit it big, or race across the finish line at the world-renowned Falmouth Road Race. Curling anyone? The Cape Cod Curling Club, the site used by the US Curling Association to film a training video, has an excellent facility. Whatever your recreational preference, you’ll find it all in Falmouth.
Cape Cod Baseball League
Celebrating its 114th year, The Cape Cod Baseball League is the premiere collegiate summer league in the country, attracting ballplayers from the best collegiate baseball programs. What better way to vacation than by spending a day at the beach, then heading over to the ballpark to relax in
a refreshing sea breeze and watch a great game of baseball. The Falmouth Commodores season runs from mid June to August. www.falcommodores.org
Cape Cod Marathon Weekend
Did you know that right here in our town of Falmouth, Cape Cod, is a nationally recognized endurance competition known as the Cape Cod Marathon? This late October annual tradition has been a staple on the New England racing circuits for 34 years and the Relay has proven to be a very popular part of the Sunday Marathon event. Runner’s World Magazine called this seaside race one of the ten most scenic races in America. Falmouth Track Club has added a half marathon race on Saturday, making this a not-to-be-missed

Every August, for the past 38 years, Falmouth has been host to a world class seaside race that entices nearly 10,000 runners, including many of the world’s elite, to Woods Hole every year. The spirit of the Falmouth Road Race remains a fun run, where casual joggers can share the road with world class runners as they all delight in the 7 mile, ocean side course. www.falmouthroadrace.com
