The Falmouth Elite Mile is on for 2021, celebrating its 25th running!

The Falmouth Elite Mile is an invitational mile for elite runners. Male runners must have run a sub-4:00-min mile and female runners must have run a sub-4:39-min mile to be considered for an invitation. Interested athletes may request an invite here.

History

Started in 1995, the Falmouth Mile was a companion event to the Falmouth Road Race. Historically taking place at the Falmouth High School James Kalperis track, behind the Health & Fitness Expo, it has developed into an exciting track festival including several races – the SBLI Family Fun Run, kicking off the events at 4:00 PM, followed by The Falmouth Elite Mile, featuring invited world-class milers. The Tommy Cochary High School Mile for Massachusetts high school athletes closes the festival.

The Falmouth Elite Mile has played host to more than two dozen Olympians, including Nick Willis, Morgan Uceny, Amy Rudolph, Carmen Douma-Hussar, Carrie Tollefson, Suzy Hamilton, Donn Cabral, Marc Davis, Robert Gary, Jason Pyrah, and 2012 Olympic silver medalist Leo Manzano.

The event records are held by Hamilton (4:25.27, 2002) and Jordan McNamara (3:54.89, 2011)
