ASICS Falmouth Road Race: Support Team Spark
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Team Spark 2025
Spark is thrilled to announce our 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race runners: Patrick, Brittney, Helen, Adrian, and Kristen! Click on each runner's name to view their story, why they're running for Spark, and how you can support their fundraising efforts. They have a collective goal of raising $5,000 to help sustain Spark's free community programming and resources.
We are so excited to cheer for them every step of the way. Fun fact: Patrick and Kristen have both supported Spark in Boston Marathon runs, too!
Support Team Spark!
As a child/adolescent psychologist, the clinical director of a community mental health agency, and, perhaps most importantly, a parent of three children, I see the value in a resource like Spark. During these post-pandemic times where feelings of isolation and disconnection linger, Spark offers effective strategies and resources to promote caring and resilient communities in Metrowest Boston. I am delighted to be running as a part of Spark’s Inaugural Falmouth Road Race Team on August 17!

History of the Falmouth Road Race
The Falmouth Road Race is a popular, annual 7-mile road race held in Falmouth, Massachusetts, known for its scenic seaside course and participation from elite and recreational runners. From the Falmouth Road Race website: "Since 2000, Falmouth Road Race, Inc. has helped charity partners raise over $71.54 million and bring awareness to their causes. For the 52nd running in 2024, 211 Massachusetts-based organizations were selected to participate in the NFNP program, accounting for 4,375 runners. Giving back has always been the foundation of the Falmouth Road Race, starting with the first event in 1973 when money was raised for the Falmouth High School girls track team. Every year, in addition to the money raised by runners, the race makes direct donations to local nonprofits, scholarships, community organizations, and sports teams."
