A History of the Falmouth Road Race

Come hear bestselling author Paul Clerici on Thursday, August 13th, at 11 a.m., at the Falmouth Historical Society Museums in the Green, Cultural Center, 55 Palmer St., Falmouth, as he discusses his “A History of the Falmouth Road Race,” the first and only book entirely about the great Cape Cod race.

In a new multimedia presentation, hear about how it all began in a bar; tales of the late great founder Tommy Leonard; how the race grew alongside the running boom; stories and anecdotes of Olympic stars on the roads of Falmouth; and how it continues to inspire.

In his books about the Falmouth Road Race and Boston Marathon especially, the award-winning writer takes readers through the colorful journeys of these iconic races. With his unique vast array of experiences and knowledge having run Falmouth several times, Boston 23 times, and having covered the sport for over 35 years now, Clerici brings the great races to life through informative, humorous, and enlightening detail that includes stories about every monument, landmark, moment, and portion of the courses and the histories.
