2010 Race Series
2010 Salem Park & Recreation Race Series
The 2008 and 2009 race series were both great successes!!
Salem’s Park, Recreation & Community Services Department is, once again, providing the opportunity for runners of all levels to experience a wide variety of Salem races. From the chill of January to the heat of August, from one mile to a half-marathon, and from a flat and fast course to cross country, this series is intended to encourage you to experience the best racing Salem has to offer. We are offering a new and unique race in the 2010 series on Halloween day to truly experience Salem at its wickedest. All races start and finish in Salem and support the City of Salem Recreation programs for all ages as well as many other charities. By participating in, and supporting, all six races, your versatility and hard work will be rewarded with a one of a kind commemorative hooded sweatshirt with race specific logos from all six events!
