FALMOUTH – The New Balance Falmouth Road Race At-Home Edition is kicking off with almost 10,000 participants.
According to race officials, 9,482 people had registered from 45 states plus the District of Columbia and 8 other countries — England, Ireland, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Australia, and Spain.
This year, participants will be asked to run a virtual race around their home neighborhoods or other parts of their communities.
Once they have completed their 7-mile runs or walks, done over a single session or multiple days, participants will upload their times and receive a digital finisher’s certificate.
According to road race officials, Stop & Shop will donate $7 per finisher to the Falmouth Service Center and Cape Kid Meals up to $10,000 in total.
The event runs from August 15 to 19, during which participants can complete their own run at their own pace.
