fitz47PCB Race Management is proud to stage the 6th Annual Liam Maguire’s Irish Pub Almost Five Miler. But Alas, all good things must come to an end. So this year will be the LAST ANNUAL Liam’s! The PCB Race Management team has cast aside their walkers, wheelchairs and bibs, fortified themselves with Beer and Geritol against numerous infirmities of mind and body and decided to do it ONE MORE TIME!!! It will not be a wake, but a celebration! ON TOP OF THAT we are proud to once again be part of the New England Runner Pub Series, despite the postponements! That’s what got this thing started, and it stimulated us to postpone our retirement!!
Liam’s will again be held in Falmouth, MA on an almost breathtakingly beautiful course. Before and after the race, celebrations of the sport will held at Liam Maguire’s Irish Pub and other venues. The race will again be limited to almost 500 runners (499 precisely). So plan on registering early!
