Falmouth Road Race
The annual Falmouth Road Race brings thousands of runners to Woods Hole in August each year. The route of the seven-mile (11 km) race starts outside the front door of the Captain Kidd, a tavern, and follows the shore of Vineyard Sound through Falmouth to the British Beer Company, another tavern, in Falmouth Heights.

With faces new,—and near the end
The milestones into headstones change,
‘Neath every one a friend.”
