Martha’s Vineyard is a stellar place. Whether you come for race
day or plan a 2-week vacation, you’ll love to escape to our Island.
In August, during the 5K, you’re at the peak of summer season with
sparkling waters and long sandy beaches. Towns bustle with activity,
ice cream drips in the sun, and everyone’s happy.
Travel
As an Island, you need
to plan a bit to get here. We’re
45 minutes off Cape Cod. You get here by ferry. The steamship authority www.steamshipauthority.com is
your best route. If you plan to bring a car you’ll need a
reservation (508) 477-8600. These can be tough in August—call
well ahead. No reservations are needed for walk on passengers.
