Salem School District

The best choice for every student, every family, every day

Salem Scramble Canceled

Posted Date: 09/24/26 (12:35 PM)


Due to the impending Nor’easter and the severe weather conditions forecast for our area, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Saturday’s Salem Scramble.

The safety of our runners, volunteers, and support crew is always our top priority. Given the expected heavy rain, high winds, and potential hazards along the course, we cannot safely hold the event.

Please note: Because this is the only time of year the fields are available; we are unable to reschedule this year’s race.

What happens next:

  • Refunds: Partial refunds will be automatically processed to your original payment method within the next week or so -- less t-shirt costs and transaction fees.
     
  • T-Shirt Distribution: Scramble T-shirts will be distributed to students at their respective schools. Those outside the Salem School District can pick up t-shirts at the SAU office.

We are deeply disappointed not to hold the event this year, but we appreciate your understanding and support as we prioritize everyone’s safety.

Thank you to everyone who signed up to volunteer, race, or support this year's event including the following sponsors:
