Course & Travel Notes

At 167 feet of elevation, Salem offers relatively flat terrain that should allow for consistent pacing throughout the race. Sunrise occurs at 7:40 AM, well before the 9:00 AM start time, so you'll have good daylight from the beginning. Expect typical October weather with highs around 65°F and lows near 44°F, and plan for the possibility of rain on about 40% of days. Salem-Willamette Valley Airport (McNary Field) is conveniently located just 2.5 miles from the venue, making arrival and departure straightforward.
