This Sunday, more than 11,000 runners will take part in the 44th Annual Falmouth Road Race. Featuring Olympic-level runners, wheelchair athletes, amateur joggers, and thousands of fans, this road race draws participants from around the world. While this event is exciting to watch, heavy traffic and crowds can deter some would-be spectators from seeing the race. These eight Falmouth homes along the road race course are close enough to see the race go by on the big day, if you make one of them your own.
