The Shirley May France 10K Road Race Hosted by the Somerset Economic Development Committee Presented by Bank Five - Somerset Join us in honoring a true Somerset trailblazer! The Somerset Economic Development Committee is proud to host the Shirley May France 10K Road Race , celebrating the legacy of hometown hero Shirley May France. As a determined teenager, Shirley captured national attention with her two courageous attempts to swim the English Channel in 1948 and 1949—coming within just one mile of making history on her second try.
