Run for the Beach 5K

Run for a Great Cause and Protect Our Sound
Every June, our community comes together at Dane Street Beach in Beverly for Salem Sound Coastwatch’s annual Run for the Beach 5K. This fun, family-friendly event supports our mission to protect and improve the environmental quality of Salem Sound and its watershed.
Bring your friends, bring your kids, and make a morning of it. Enjoy:
  • A photo booth to capture the day
  • A life-size inflatable whale
  • An interactive touch tank
Cheer on the runners, soak up the beach vibes, and celebrate our shared commitment to a healthy coastline.
