Announcing the "Run For Free" Program
The Falmouth Track Club is pleased to announce a new program of race fee reimbursement for active members of the Falmouth Track Club. Please see "Run For Free" for details.
Welcome
Our club is composed of individuals and families who participate in and support running, road racing, and walking. We are a friendly club, based in the beach community of Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Our members hail from the towns of Cape Cod and the Islands, many parts of Massachusetts, and states as far away as Florida and California. Our personal goals include athletic achievement, personal satisfaction, and enjoyment. Our club seeks to encourage youth as well as adults to run and walk for competition, recreation, fitness and pleasure.
Every year the FTC is able to make substantial donations to local charities. Membership in the FTC includes a subscription to the club newsletter, The Road Record, a popular way for members who are seasonal residents to keep in touch with our community. FTC running gear is available for purchase at the Coffee Obsession on Queens Byway, Falmouth.
Here is an article about the FTC published by the Bourne Courier in early 2008: Falmouth Track Club article.
FTC Activities
Our three road races have been in existence since the 1970s. They are the Seagull Six (actually 5.74 miles) held in early April, the Main Street Mile held in September, and the Cape Cod Marathon and Relay held in late October. We also offer the Coffee-O (founded in 1997), a weekly self-timed 5-mile fun run each Friday evening at 5:30 out of Town Hall Square in Falmouth. The club offers to its members a weekly coached track workout throughout the year and a summer running program for children and teens. There is a series of fun runs held at members' homes in the winter.
The Falmouth Track Club also offers a full-service race timing service featuring a unique and widely recognized starter's cannon. Click on the link at the top of this page for more info.
We also help out with a number of other community volunteer projects such as a clean-up of a well-traveled local street in the spring. In 2007 we even helped build a playground in town.
