Description

The seven-mile Falmouth Road Race catapulted Cape Cod onto the running radar. Frank Shorter winning gold within the 1972 Olympic marathon inspired local barkeep Tommy Leonard to start out a race in his own the city. That inaugural race in 1973 garnered fewer than 100 runners. Participation soon swelled to the thousands, way to the good fortune of organizers, volunteers, and talented fields, including running legends like Bill Rodgers and Catherine Ndereba, in addition to wheelchair champions Bob Hall and Tatyana McFadden. Follow writer Paul C. Clerici along each and every bend and uphill battle of the race’s history from the early stages of the running boom to resetting the street-racing calendar.
