Coming from SC low-country the course was great, a couple of rolling inclines that’s all. The aid stations about 2.5 mile apart were fully stocked. But the best part was the swag and the after race food and wine festival!! Highly recommended.

This race had great scenery and everything was so green (in the Spring). It was fun cheering on the Marathoners and Half Marathoners during the staggered start and when they crossed the finish line (as I was finished before them since I did the 10k). The Wine festival at the finish was great and you got a ticket for a free plate of food at one of the food trucks!

There aren’t too many races that run through the Salem parks and cross the new pedestrian bridge. This one does. It even has a little trail section to make it interesting. Great post race party too.
