SMS Peace, Love, & Hope Run
The SMS Peace, Love, & Hope Run is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Salem, Virginia. The event is hosted by Salem Montessori School at 1565 Roanoke Blvd and uses the Mason Creek Greenway for its course alignment.
The event offers the following distances:
- 5K Peace, Love, & Hope Run / Walk
- 1 Mile Run / Walk
Entry fees listed are $30 for the 5K and $15 for the 1 Mile; early pricing is valid until January 31, 2026. Interactive and printable course maps are provided for both distances.
The run functions as a fundraiser for Salem Montessori School and the Children’s Trust of the Roanoke Valley. A portion of proceeds supports Montessori training and certification for school staff. Ten percent of all proceeds will go to the Children’s Trust of the Roanoke Valley, and race day additional donations to the Children’s Trust are designated to go 100 percent to that organization.
The event follows a 1960s theme and includes a costume contest with a prize for the best costume, a post-race tie-dye station, and other themed activities. Timing services are listed for the timed event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
