Thank you to the Cochary Gross Family!
In 2020 the Cochary-Gross Family was a major contributor to the Falmouth Road Race, Inc. High School Scholarship Program, which aligns with their mission and celebrate our local high schoolers’ accomplishments.
We hope to host an in-person Falmouth Track Festival, presented by ASICS, in 2021 to celebrate the 10th running of the Tommy Cochary High School Mile!
About the TCHS Mile:
The Falmouth Road Race High School Mile was created in 2010 and featured only athletes from schools located on Cape Cod, but in 2011 it was renamed the Tommy Cochary High School Mile and opened to athletes from across the state. In 2021, for the 10th year, the event will be in memory of Tommy Cochary, a local Falmouth runner. The Falmouth Road Race was always an integral part of the lives of Tommy and his family each year, but the summer of 1990 transformed the Cochary Family forever when Tommy’s life was cut short by a drunk driving accident. In memory of his active life and fun-loving attitude, the family wants to promote good health and smart choices by awarding a grant in the top high school girl and boy athletes names to be used by their school to purchase or implement a level of wellness. The schools, in collaboration with the donors, will be able to choose from options such as athletic equipment, team uniforms, or an after-school wellness activity.
Eligible athletes for 2021 to include high school students who are residents of Massachusetts and currently attend, or will be a 2021 graduate of, a Massachusetts High School. High school milers are invited to apply each year online with runners chosen by mid-July. The goal of the selection process is to invite the best athletes in Massachusetts who also embody the underlying values of the race and Make Smart Choices in their lives.
All athletes chosen to participate in the 2021 Tommy Cochary High School Mile will be outfitted in sneakers, flats, shorts, and singlets and will have the chance to race in front of thousands of spectators. Field size will be limited to a maximum of 10 high school boys and 10 high school girls; the selection process will consider character as well as athletic performance.
