Salem 50k

We're going on ten years of hosting Angry Owl Ultramarathons in Bush Park and it's time to grow. We're using a similar blueprint to Angry Owl as far as running a looped course at Bush, but we've changed a number of variables: the weather, the loop, and the distances are all quite a bit different. 

Those that know and love Angry Owl will enjoy this event, and those who are new to us will find this event to be both accessible and challenging.

Course

The course is a 3.33km loop all within the park. It's about half asphalt and half gravel or dirt. There are two notable climbs that account for most of the 120 feet of elevation gain per loop. 

50k = 15 loops
30k = 9 loops
10k = 3 loops

The start/finish is at the bottom of the soap box derby hill off of Mission Street. Please note that this is a different start/finish location than Angry Owl.

Aid

We'll have a basic aid station set up just beyond the start/finish line so that you can access aid every 3.33km. We'll have water, Tailwind, PB&J, fruit, sweet snacks, salty snacks, and some limited hot food. 

We DO NOT provide cups or bottles for runners. We are happy to store your cup or bottle at the aid station. Please bring your own cup or bottle. 

We advise that runners not depend on us for your entire nutrition plan. You can depend on us for all of your water and Tailwind, but our solid food is meant to supplement the items that you bring and have used in your own training.

Swag

We're a simple race on purpose. We emphasize the experience over the stuff. There are no big sponsors, no medals, no age-group awards, etc. 
Every runner will receive this year's Salem 50k race cap made in our garage with our kids.
