Postponed to August 30, 2020.
A 5 mile road race from the waters of Wasque Point to the ferry at Chappy Point. Registration limited to 250 runners.
This year, net proceeds from the race will go to support two great initiatives:
Close the Gap
Half of the net proceeds will go to retiring the remaining $60,025 owed by the Chappy Open Space Committee in connection with the $1 million purchase of the Cove Meadow Preserve.
No Time to Waste
Chappaquiddick is on the front lines of climate change with more frequent and intense storms impacting our already dynamic beach systems. Food waste is a significant contributor to domestic greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane gas which has a greater impact on warming than carbon dioxide. Food waste is an opportunity for Chappaquiddickers to do something about climate change in our own homes, on our own Island and in our own lifetimes. Half of the net proceeds from the race will be provided to the Martha’s Vineyard Food Waste Initiative (FWI) to launch a pilot program to collect food waste on Chappy to be used as compost.
