Thanks to MrFelix for filming this run. His channel has more of his footage.
This video follows a run through Edgartown, down Main Street and out along the lighthouse hiking trail. If you're thinking about walking or running the route yourself, this shows you the whole thing ahead of time.
The run starts on Edgartown's Main Street and finishes at the Edgartown Lighthouse, picking up several walking trails along the way.
Edgartown's Main Street is lined with preserved 19th-century homes, small shops, and restaurants. The Edgartown Lighthouse is the town's best-known landmark, with open views over the harbor and the water beyond it.
