North Shore Runfest

The North Shore RunFest is a vibrant 10k running and walking event held in downtown Salem, Massachusetts. The mostly flat course takes participants through scenic spots including Salem Willows, downtown Salem, and Forest River Park, finishing at Notch Brewing. The event welcomes both runners and walkers, including those with strollers and well-behaved dogs (which must exit before the festival).

Beyond the race, the RunFest features a lively post-race party with live music, vendors, a food truck, and a complimentary beer from Notch Brewing included with registration. Awards are given for overall and age group winners, and the event benefits the YMCA of The North Shore. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
