Shipwrecked Falmouth in the Fall has been held each autumn since 1979, and each year, a portion of the proceeds of the event are donated to a featured charity partner to assist in the work it does to support the Falmouth community.

Registration is expected to sell out quickly, which takes 1,500 participants along the same 7-mile course as the ASICS Falmouth Road Race. This is an open race course and streets are open to traffic, so it is important for participants to stay to the right (running with traffic) and always be aware of their surroundings. Due to this element, the race will have a ‘pulse start’ and jogging strollers and dogs are not permitted.

All participants receive special swag and access to race week events. The Finish Festival and Beer Garden at Shipwrecked Restaurant is where finishers will receive a bag with post-race refreshments, shop for exclusive race merchandise, enjoy photo opportunities and participate in games. They will also be treated to complimentary chowder and other refreshments.
