Paul hangs his t-shirts from 1978-2018 in front of his house every year to celebrate the road race. Listen to what he says:
All Hail, Tommy Leonard
The guy who started it all. Must be very rewarding for him to see the passion, commitment, guts and glory of the 12,000 runners in the Falmouth Road Race. We should name Tommy “Citizen of the Year” next year. Long overdue. He’s brought us fame and fortune, not to mention incredible good will.

Falmouth Road Race Number Pick-up and Expo
Runners are streaming to Falmouth High School today and tomorrow to pick up their numbers, gift bag, and see what’s on display at the Expo. Forecast for the race is for a lower temperature and less humidity than today, which will be a welcome relief.
A Falmouth Road Race Story
Hard fought Falmouth Road Race 2017! Listen to the announcer (and is that the Hoyt dad and son on the screen?).
And here they are at the finish. Looks like Sambu is capturing a historic fourth consecutive win.
And checking that all-important time.
Sights and sounds at the finish line, Falmouth Road Race 2017.
After…
After…
The water station at the finish line. 13,000 bottles?
The wheelchair athletes’ tent, post-race.
…the land of the free and the home of the brave…
Cody’s job is to anchor the flag, another of those unmarked moments by an unnoticed volunteer that makes the Falmouth Road Race special!
Last year his friend tethered the flag, but not this year.
Caught sight of these women just after their finish…
Close-up of a post-race moment. Hang onto that medal!
Another post-race moment.
Thanks, Tommy Leonard, for following through with that first whimsical idea: Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to have a race between Woods Hole and Falmouth Heights?
