North Shore RunFest, Salem MA (August 30, 2026)
North Shore RunFest is a single-day event in downtown Salem that combines a 10 km race with a festival and benefits the YMCA of The North Shore. The festival area at the event includes live music and beer provided by Notch Brewing.
Distances:
- 10 km Run/Walk
- 10 km USATF Championship entry
Each race bib includes a ticket for the first beer; additional beers are available for $6 each. Non-alcoholic beer options are offered. A festival-only entry includes one drink ticket and access to live music but does not include a race bib.
Prizes are awarded to fastest finishers, by age group, and for teams. Registration fees listed for the event entries include $45 for the standard 10 km entry, $40 for the USATF 10 km entry, and $20 for festival entry that includes one drink ticket.
Early bib pickup is available at Marathon Sports, 9 Paradise Rd., Salem, MA. Participants who ordered a race t-shirt or medal receive those items with their bib during pickup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
