RACE HISTORY & FACTS
Founded in 1988,
the annual Sam Warner 5K Run is a highly
popular

along the North Bend Trail. Its
5 kilometer (3.2 mile) course starts on the rail-trail
across from East Resources Building on Flinderation Road, east of Salem. The
race enters into downtown Salem and ends at at Railroad Street across from Salem
Post Office. In 1999, the Salem Apple Butter Festival 5 K Race was renamed the SAM WARNER 5 K RUN in honor of the late Sam Warner. Mr. Warner, a racing and fitness advocate, served as chairman of the 5 K race from 1990 until his death in the summer of 1999. The 1999 Race featured the largest field (173 runners) and a new course record (15:25 by David McCollum).
