More than a race: It’s an event. Mark your calendars! The North Shore's Running Event of the Summer is back this year and it’s better than ever! It’s a race and a party to benefit Girls On The Run, right in downtown Salem. Come downtown on Sunday morning prepared to run a fun 5k or 8k 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 two beverages, then you’re free to purchase more for just $6 per beer. Non-alcoholic beers available as well. Prizes for fastest runners, age groups, and USATF 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. Schedule will be available this summer. If you ordered a race t-shirt or medal, you will receive those items with your bib.

There is a parking garage at the corner of Derby and Congress with metered parking. If you are coming from outside Salem, we highly recommend taking the Commuter Rail if possible. It's a quick jog from the train station to the race. You may also park at the MBTA lot for a small fee even if you are not taking the train. This is a great option.
