2017 will mark the sixth year of Run Falmouth, a half marathon that’s organised by Cornish charity Cornwall Hospice Care in conjunction with the Falmouth Road Runners. The event is part of the Cornwall Glass and Glazing Grand Prix Series and last year attracted 500 runners. Affiliated and non-affiliated runners aged 18 and over can enter by visiting the charity’s website at www.cornwallhospicecare.co.uk
Run Falmouth 2017 on Sunday 12th March will follow a challenging 13.1 mile route that was newly created last year and takes runners past stunning coastal and countryside scenery. Starting near Pendennis Castle, the route also takes in Gyllyngvase Beach, Swanpool and Maenporth beaches. Runners then head inland passing through the village of Mawnan Smith and around the outskirts of Budock Water, before turning back to the finish at the Falmouth Hotel.
Oliver Hoare, Head of Fundraising at Cornwall Hospice Care, says it’s a visually attractive half marathon, but not for the faint hearted;
