From the Race Organizer
The 6th Annual PARC/RCRC 5K Run/Walk is not a race, more so an activity that includes fun “challenges” and business stops along the route. Think walkathon/fun run meets Amazing Race. The 2026 theme is “History, Scenery, and Fun in West Salem.” All ages are welcome! Registration is required for all participants ages 11 and over. Minors must be accompanied by parents. The cost of registration covers all event food/beverage samples, with the exception of an optional adult beverage. The first 75 registrants will receive a 2026 souvenir personalized PARC 5K glass. This is a nonprofit event, with proceeds as well as additional contributions being donated to the Sara Rose Hougom Foundation. The event starts and ends at the parking lot of Swarthout Park near beautiful Lake Neshonoc, and goes through the downtown area of West Salem, with local points of interest, unique activity stops, challenges, and food/beverage sample stops along the way. The 5K is not timed, and all challenges/stops are op
