The 40th running of the New Balance Falmouth Road Race was won by Stanley Biwott and Margaret Wangari, both of Kenya. The wheelchair division was won by newcomer Jill Moore and Krige Schabort, who collected his fourth victory on the seaside course.
Mimi Fallon was the top female runner from Walpole, finishing 175th in 44:10, while Gary DeMayo was the top male runner from town in 53:09, 846th place.
The race started under cloudy skies with the runners all wishing race founder Tommy Leonard, “Happy Birthday” and then Olympic Gold Medalist Frank Shorter firing the starting gun 40 years to the day after winning his medal in the marathon. There were 10,600 finishers to reach Falmouth Heights.
The men’s race took off out of Woods Hole after a slight delay because of a course flooding from a morning rain storm. Organizers and Falmouth DPW quickly pumped the water off the course in two spots and the wheelchair race was off. The runners went off 10 minutes later for a delay of only 15 minutes.
