About
the New Balance Falmouth Road Race
The New Balance Falmouth Road Race was established in 1973 and has
become one of the premier running events of the summer season. Each year
the race draws an international field of Olympians, elite runners and
recreational runners out to enjoy the scenic 7-mile seaside course. The
non-profit Falmouth Road Race organization is dedicated to promoting health and

youth athletic programs in the town of Falmouth and other nonprofit community
groups.
