This year was the 50th anniversary of the Falmouth Road Race. The Falmouth Road Race was established in 1973 and has become one of the premier running events of the summer season. Each year the race draws an international field of Olympians, elite, and recreational runners out to enjoy the iconic 7-mile seaside course. In 2022, there were 10,000 runners in the race.
Falmouth Amateur Radio Association (FARA) once again provided communication support for the race. Barry, KB1TLR coordinated a team of 28 amateur radio operators. These volunteer operators covered the various water stops and medical tents, as well as two public information tents.
FARA's new communication trailer served as net control, stationed at the band shell in Marina Park.
The Falmouth Road Race is one of many public events supported by FARA volunteers throughout the year. The Cape Cod Marathon in early October is next.
