FALMOUTH – Registration open now for this year’s ASICS Falmouth Road Race. The annual event draws thousands to Cape Cod and raises money for regional charities.
Local runners, Olympians and even astronaut Suni Williams have taken part in the race over its 53 years.
Entrants will be randomly chosen until all 11,400 runner spots are filled. Falmouth residents will be given guaranteed entry.
Local police had asked for reduced spots in previous years due to lack of staffing to manage it.
Since 2000, Falmouth Road Race, Inc. has helped charity partners raise over $71.5 million.
According to race officials, registrants may create a team of up to 15 people for the purpose of registration only. This way the team is selected, or not, as a whole.
This year, the race will collect payment information during the registration process to streamline the random selection process and allow for faster confirmation of entry into the event.
The race will take place August 17.
Registration can be done on the official website here.
