Weather & Course Announcement

Update 12:30pm on Thursday, 9/26/2024

 

Due to flooding and a sinkhole on the Salem Creek Greenway, the 30K course will be modified.  Instead of an out and back course on the Greenway, the 30K runners will make 2 full loops of Salem Lake following the Frosty Fifty 12.5K loop, and then run the 5K course which is an out and back on the Salem Lake Trail.  The 30K will start and finish at the Marina building.  Runners will pass by the finish line twice running in a counter-clockwise direction, and will finish with the final 2.5K in a clockwise direction.

 

The 7 Mile course and the 5K course should be unaffected by the weather and are unchanged.

 

The forecast for Saturday looks great with slightly lower temperatures and clear skies.    Absent an announcement to the contrary, the races will proceed as scheduled.
