Run With Us
Opportunities for group runs in Salem are listed below.
If you would like to add a group please send us a message.
Social runs:
We participate in weekly runs every Monday, hosted by Gallagher Fitness Resources. Meet at their store at 6:00 p.m. and start heading out to run by 6:15 p.m. The route is a standard 3.12 miles around Riverfront Park and into Minto Brown Island Park to the Gallagher bench and back. All paces welcome! Options for longer distances include doing park laps while we wait to gather. After the run, we head to a local eatery to have food and drinks and enjoy each other’s company.
MRD route details
Monday Runday route starts at the carousel and goes north to the top of Riverfront Park. Then south along the water around the Earth ball on the south end before heading over the Minto Island bridge. Return after circling the information board near the GFR bench. Run along the waterfront again before cutting in just before the water park, back to the carousel.
We host occasional themed runs for popular and lesser-known holidays. Keep an eye on our Facebook event page HERE and for email announcements for run details. All paces are welcome!
If you have a favorite running route you’d like to recommend for a group run or have any questions about social runs, please message us.
Long runs:
Isaac’s Downtown
About three groups meet at 6:50 a.m. on Saturdays at Isaac’s Room downtown. Paces vary from 6 to 13 minutes per mile. Distances range from 4 to 20 miles. The best way to see if one of these groups is for you is to show up and ask people what their plan is for the morning.
Gallagher Fitness Resources
GFR offers classes, clinics, and free running groups on Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. If you are a beginning runner or just want to fine-tune your performance, GFR can help you reach your goals.
