About this race

More than a race: It’s an event.

Mark your calendars! Salem’s September 10k is back this year and it’s bigger than ever! It’s a race and a party, all in one, right in downtown Salem and it benefits YMCA of The North Shore!

Come downtown on Sunday morning prepared to run a fun 10k course with your friends. Then get ready to relax at the RunFest with cold Notch Brewing Beer and live music from one of our favorite bands. Each bib includes a ticket for your first beer, then you’re free to purchase more for just $6 per beer. Non-alcoholic beers available as well. If you have some friends who want to hang out but don’t run, no worries! They can buy a fest-only ticket and come soak up the vibes with you. Prizes for fastest runners, age groups, and team awards!

Early Bib Pick Up


Early Bib Pick Up Address:
Marathon Sports: 9 Paradise Rd., Salem, MA
We highly recommend getting your bib before race day to reduce the risk of delays. Although we will have plenty of volunteers handing out bibs on race day morning, lines can happen. The race will start at 9am sharp, even if people are waiting for bibs. 

Marathon Sports in Salem has generously offered to host early Bib Pick Up during the following hours:

Thursday: 4pm - 7pm
Friday: 4pm - 7pm
Saturday: 11am - 3pm
If you ordered a race t-shirt or medal, you will receive those items with your bib.
