The New Balance Falmouth Road Race will celebrate its 45th running this year when more than 11,000 runners gather in Woods Hole on Aug. 20, 2017. Back-of-the-pack joggers share the road with the best, forming a tapestry of colors from the start on Water Street to the finish at the beach in Falmouth Heights. The Falmouth Road Race is one of the showcase events in American distance running and a major event during the summer on Cape Cod.
