The ASICS Falmouth Road Race will again use the pulse-start wave system to best manage the numbers of runners within a venue site of limited size. This system is possible due to use of chip timing, that allows for all runners to receive an accurate time based on their crossings of the official start and finish lines. The “Pulse Start” has received excellent industry-wide runner feedback.

Goal: to give every runner the best experience possible

This includes the ability now to run from the start with less congestion on the course

Pulse intervals within each pace group are set at time intervals [approx. 2 minutes between] thus allowing for less congestion at the Start and on the course

Each pace group will have multiple pace starts

Multiple pace signs will be posted along Water Street to help guide runners to their approximate start position

Start times: The Wheelchair Division will be the first start of the day at8:40 AMfollowed by the Elite women’s start at 8:50 AM. The Elite men at9:00 AMand seeded runners and wheelchair duos at9:03 AM.The first pulse start for the general field of runners will begin at9:05 AM.

Bike Valet Program:Our Bike Valet Program allows runners to leave a bicycle in Falmouth Heights, and then take a bus to the start line. Easy return to Lawrence School, your home, or where you’re staying Race Weekend. Registered runners will be contacted with more information closer to race week.The Bike Valet program is open until full,

Unregistered Runnerscause many problems: they disrupt the start, crowd the course, infringe on the rights of official runners, and cause congestion at the finish. Please try to discourage anyone who plans to run unofficially. We realize many want to run in person, and we would like to accommodate everyone, but the narrow course and with restrictions from our Public Safety Team, we can only have 10,000 runners on the course. We hope you will discourage “bandits.”
