For over 32 years the Falmouth Walk has supported local Falmouth charities. Started by friends Eddie Doyle and Tommy Leonard the annual event has brought thousands of people together for a day of exercise, camaraderie and giving to those in need.
The 32nd Annual Falmouth Walk will be held Saturday, August 19 starting at 10am from Falmouth’s Town Hall Square. The picturesque 5K (about 3.2 miles) course will once again flow through the charming streets of Falmouth along the bustling Falmouth Harbor and past the storefronts of Main Street to the finish at St. Barnabas Church by the Town Green.
As has become a new tradition, the option to participate in the Walk virtually is avilable to those who are unable to join us in-person in Falmouth. Our virtual walkers across the country will join friends and family for a 5k walk in their hometown neighborhood on or around Saturday, August 19, 2023.
All registrations close on Thursday, August 17, 2023 at 3pm. The entry fee of $30 includes a 31st Annual Falmouth Walk t-shirt and an official walk bib number. (T-shirts guaranteed to the first 850 registrants.) T-shirt pick-up for online registrants and in-person registration is Friday, August 89 from 4-7pm at Timber Axe Bar and Bowl (Town Hall Square) and again on Saturday at 8:30am prior to the start of the Walk. Virtual walkers will receive their t-shirts by August 19, 2023 if registration is completed by July 10, 2023. Virtual walkers registering between July 11 and August 17 will receive a t-shirt and bib, but it will likely arrive after August 19.
Walkers may opt out of receiving the t-shirt to increase funds distributed to the charities. Additional donations can also be made during the registration process. The needs of the 12 charities supported by the Walk remain great after this challenging year.
Returning again this year just for our virtual walkers is “The Most Original Walk Photo Contest”. Simply submit a photo of you on your Virtual 32nd Annual Falmouth Walk to falmouthwalk@falmouthwalk.org or post it to Facebook and tag “The Falmouth Walk” by September 16, 2023. Our founder, Eddie Doyle, will select the most creative. The winner will be notified after September 17 and receive a free entry for the 2024 Falmouth Walk.
The Committee is excited to host the 32nd Annual Falmouth Walk both in-person and virtual. We are honored to continue the tradition of giving. Check back on the website, Facebook, and/or Instagram for updates.
