Celebrating 50 Years of the Wheelchair Division at Falmouth with Matt Manchester

This week on Runnah, we’re celebrating 50 years of the Wheelchair Division at the Falmouth Road Race — and who better to help us do that than Matt Manchester.Matt is the Adaptive Athletes & Wheelchair Program Manager for the race, a third grade teacher at East Falmouth Elementary, and a lifelong fan of this event. As a Falmouth native, he brings a unique and heartfelt perspective on how the race has grown to include and honor every athlete on the course.We talk about the history of the wheelchair division, what goes into planning this special start each year (wheelchair athletes take off at 8:40 AM, duos at 8:42!), and why this moment is one of the most powerful of race weekend — whether you’re in the crowd or on the course.Want to learn more about the division or get involved?👉 Visit: https://falmouthroadrace.com/events/wheelchair-division/📧 Contact Matt directly at: [email protected] in and get inspired by a story that’s all about inclusion, community pride, and showing up for one another.📧 Questions or collab ideas for the show?
