Falmouth Shipwrecked In The Fall Race Spots Could Sell Out Quick

FALMOUTH, MA — Falmouth Road Race, Inc., is moving swiftly from the summer road race to its trademark fall race, Shipwrecked Falmouth in the Fall.

Though the race isn't until Nov. 3, registration for participants opens on Wednesday with limited spots.

At 9 a.m., runners will get their chance to register for 1,500 spots at the annual Shipwrecked Falmouth in the Fall. Produced by Falmouth Road Race, Inc., Shipwrecked Falmouth in the Fall (FITF) traverses the same 7-mile course as the organization’s ASICS Falmouth Road Race.

Registration can be found at the link here.

“Running along our iconic coastline and by the famous Nobska Lighthouse is a bucket-list item for runners all across the country. Shipwrecked Falmouth in the Fall is a chance for those who might not be able to join us at our August event to take to the course in the off-season,” said Executive Director Jennifer Edwards. “Whether you’re local or visiting from afar, Cape Cod in autumn will not disappoint. Don’t wait! Registration for this boutique take on our beloved event will likely sell out in the first 24 hours.”

The race itself will take place on Nov. 3 at 11 a.m., taking participants from Woods Hole to Falmouth Heights. Runners will receive their 2024 FITF pom-pom hat at one of the pre-race parties when they pick up their bib.

Pre-race parties in the days leading up to the race will take place at The Run House, Timber Axe Bar & Bowl and Shipwrecked with special deals and offers for participants. After the run, the race organizers will host the Finish Festival and Beer Garden, held at Shipwrecked Restaurant, where runners will receive a bag with post-race refreshments as well as complimentary chowder and other treats.

The road race has been held each autumn since 1979, and came under the direction of Falmouth Road Race, Inc., in 2020. The seven-mile race was founded by Jack Oser, along with Jim and Betty Gehris, long-time Falmouth Road Race volunteers.

Each year, a portion of the proceeds of the event are donated to a featured charity partner to assist in the work it does to support the Falmouth community.
