Here are some pictures and videos of the Falmouth Road Race from my vantage point at the finish line this morning. Cloudy and humid, but a decent breeze to begin the day. Not as great as last year’s ideal conditions, but better than some, especially the remains of a hurricane we had back in the late 80’s.
In addition to the traditions and memories that so many have around this race, it’s also a significant source of grants and donations that benefit many people. Since 2012, the Falmouth Road Race, Inc. has donated over $2 million to local youth organizations and individual scholarships.
Additionally, the charities that received bib numbers raised a record $4.9 million last year, with over $35 million raised since 2000. Think about all the non-runners who benefit in a significant way from this. Thank you, Falmouth Road Race and Tommy Leonard. We are grateful!
