About the Run for Salem Free Clinics
This race benefits Salem Free Clinics, a healthcare organization that serves people who cannot afford care. The course offers both a shorter and a longer distance option, with the shorter one open to walkers and strollers as well. Dogs are not permitted on course, so leave them home. A virtual option is also available for those who cannot make it in person.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before the race at Broadway Commons in Salem, with race-day pickup available if you miss it. Virtual participants can arrange shipping instead.
