Eastham Windmill Weekend Road Race
About this race
Join us for the 2026 Annual Windmill Weekend Road Race!
This 5k Road Race welcomes runners of all ages and skill levels. The event begins at the scenic First Encounter Beach, up through the rolling hills of Eastham’s Samoset Road, leading to the local CLAMS Library and back down to First Encounter Beach. A past time for many and a fun filled run for all!
The race begins at 8am with a bib pick up and registration offered the day prior at the Eastham Windmill Green from 2-4pm. This year registration will NOT be offered in person the morning of the race but can be completed online until 7am.

We run Rain or Shine!
