Dave McGillivray
Race Director, Founder DMSE Sports, Inc.
DMSE Sports has served as the race operations management team for the Falmouth Road Race since 2012. In addition to his ten years serving as race director, Dave is also a prominent philanthropist, author, and motivational speaker, as well as an accomplished athlete. In 1981, Dave founded DMSE Sports, a firm that manages mass-participatory road race events, including the Boston Marathon. He has co-authored four books: a memoir, “The Last Pick,” chronicles his childhood as the last pick for team sports due to his small stature, and three illustrated children’s books that tell the stories of his athletic adventures in the hopes of encouraging readers to never underestimate their own abilities. Dave’s passion for running has extended beyond his professional life into his philanthropic endeavors. In 1978, what Runners World deemed the first instance of combining running and fundraising for cancer research, Dave ran 3,452 miles across the country—from Medford, Oregon, to his hometown of Medford, Massachusetts—in an effort to raise $100,000 to benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. He would continue in this marriage of running and philanthropy throughout his career, logging more than 150,000 miles and raising millions for those in need.
