LIVE at the Falmouth Road Race Expo: William Lehr

 This Runnah episode takes you trackside — literally — with two-time Paralympian and lifelong athlete WIlliam Lehr. From his first organized wheelchair race as a teenager in Falmouth, to competing at the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games, William’s decades in sport are as much about perseverance as they are about speed.We talk racing then vs. now, the evolution of wheelchair technology, what it’s like training on Shelter Island’s hills, and why he still logs 12–16 miles a day at age 63. William’s also never shy about calling out barriers — physical and attitudinal — that athletes with disabilities still face.Recorded live and unedited at the FCTV booth during the 2025 Falmouth Road Race Expo, this conversation is equal parts history lesson, athlete diary, and proof that William’s not done chasing finish lines. 📧 Connect with Runnah: [email protected]
