Tommy Leonard

Race Founder

Tommy Leonard was an honorary member of the board of directors. The founder of the race, Tommy was its most ardent and enthusiastic supporter. He dreamed and conceived of the race after watching the 1972 Olympic marathon, the last time that an American citizen, Frank Shorter, won the men’s marathon in an Olympic Game. An enthusiastic runner most of his life, he dreamed that someday he would see the Olympic champion run and win in Falmouth. With his unflinching persistence, calling on friends and connections in the fledgling running community, he charmed Shorter into coming to Falmouth for the first time in 1975 and the rest is history. Tommy’s dream not only became a reality, but the success and popularity of the race has far surpassed anything that he ever envisioned. Tommy became a legend in his own right in the running community and beyond: his biography was written a few years ago and Runners’ World magazine ran a feature article on his life in the August, 2011 issue. Tommy’s enthusiasm and support for the race was unmatched. The race was deeply saddened by the news of Tommy’s passing in January, 2019. We will continue to honor his enduring legacy. Tommy, we thank you and love you!
