Race to Save the Harvest
The Race to Save the Harvest is an annual community event held at Minto-Brown Island Park in Salem, Oregon. The event features multiple short-distance running and walking options and supports Salem Harvest, an organization that gathers fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste and makes it available to local families.
Course details are provided for two formats: a 3K out and back course and a 5K loop course. Both routes are within Minto-Brown Island Park and use shaded, hard-surface paths. The start and finish lines are located at the south end of Parking Lot 3 near the covered picnic area.
