Falmouth Mob Match

Falmouth Running Club are delighted to be hosting the 38th annual Mob Match taking place on Sunday 29th November.

Run for your club, gym or as a team of running friends in the Mob Match - the traditional end to the Cornish racing year.

This 5-mile road race is a team event open to runners in clubs affiliated to the Cornwall Road Running and Racing Group, and following the successful trial last year, is now open to 'all comers' such as gyms, sports clubs and groups of friends. If you've been wondering what this race is all about, now is the time to sign up! 

The race is measured 5 miles, starting around the magnificent Pendennis Headland, along Falmouth's iconic seafront - passing the renowned Gyllyngvase and Swanpool beaches - before a fast finish outside the famous Falmouth Hotel.

Each finisher is awarded points which go towards their team's placing.

There will be prizes in each division for Male, Female teams, plus some mixed team prizes available across all divisions. 

In addition to the team prize winners, every runner will receive a Mob Match 26 long sleeve winter running top! These will be supplied, by Castle Sports, in both a ladies' and men's fit, so please choose your usual size from the list. Please note that entries made after the 8th of November may not be guaranteed a top on the day.

There will also be some great spot prizes awarded in a random draw of race numbers.

CRRRG clubs will be in the same Divisions (1,2 or 3) as per the 2025 race unless the race director is notified prior to the start. All comers will again be welcomed into Division 3. 

Following the race there will be the presentation of trophies to winning teams in conjunction with the CRRRG awards to individuals who have completed 8 or more GP races in the Cornwall Glass sponsored series at Race HQ
