The Falmouth road race is an icon. It is New England Summer road racing at its best, and its warmest! But, a few days on the beach, perhaps a clambake, and of course, a cool adult beverage after the race makes 12k go that much faster.
Congrats to New Balance for signing on as the title sponsor of the Falmouth Road Race! A good move by NB making sure no one forgets that they are focused on running!
