Registration is now open!
We want YOU to REACH your New Year's resolution and kick 2021 off on the right food by hitting the streets to run in support of Salem Academy!
This fall we held our first ever "Wellness Weekend" and it was a great success! We raised over $11,000 for Salem Academy programming, benefitting both our students and teachers. The popularity of Wellness Weekend showed a desire within our community to participate in athletic events that individuals could pursue independently and safely, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
After doing some research, we determined hosting a 5K to “hit the ground running” in 2021 could be a uplifting and beneficial way to kick off the new year. At an alumni event this past winter, we heard from several alumni they might like to #BeatBetts or #CatchCallahan. Here is your chance!
This year's fundraiser is more important than ever. COVID has impacted our community in significant ways. Your support will help ensure that we are able to meet our students' unprecedented needs this year. We hope that you will pick up the proverbial torch and help us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000!
