Sunday, August 17 was nothing short of spectacular as 49 incredible athletes proudly represented the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) at the 53rd annual ASICS Falmouth Road Race! This legendary seven-mile race drew thousands to the Cape Cod coast—and Team JAF showed up in full force, raising $77,000 for New England cancer patients!
Adding to the excitement, one dedicated JAF athlete also completed the at-home edition of the race earlier in the week, conquering his seven miles in his hometown. No matter the location, Team JAF was united by a single mission: to support cancer patients across New England.
The course was lined with cheers, colorful signs, and even some welcome water sprays from generous spectators. But Mile 3? That was all Team JAF!
JAF was proud to be an Official Cheer Zone sponsored by Red Bull this year, spreading high-fives, hugs, and positive vibes to every runner—especially our amazing team members. Joe and Jen Andruzzi, JAF staff, and friends were all cheering loudly as runners passed by.
And the energy didn’t stop there! At Mile 5, our longtime friends from the Parrot Head Crew brought the tropical vibes and unmatched enthusiasm, cheering on Team JAF and snaping some amazing pictures. We’re incredibly grateful for this group’s continued support and for making Mile 5 such a highlight—year after year.
After powering through the final climb and crossing the finish line, runners were greeted with well-earned congratulations, cold water, and delicious hot dogs—a perfect way to celebrate an incredible accomplishment.
This amazing day wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many:
- The Falmouth Road Race Numbers for Non-Profit program, for welcoming JAF for the 14th year
- New Balance, for generously donating official Team JAF singlets
- The incredible ASICS Falmouth Road Race staff, board members, and volunteers
- Our inspiring JAF Patient Ambassadors, who fueled our team’s motivation throughout their training and fundraising journeys
- Every volunteer and supporter who joined us at the Mile 3 cheer station
And most importantly, to the 49 remarkable individuals who ran, walked, trained, and fundraised for Team JAF—you are the heartbeat of this mission (see our list below).
Thanks to your efforts and the generosity of your supporters, cancer patients throughout New England will receive critical financial assistance—ensuring they can keep a roof over their heads, food on the table, and smiles on their faces.
