2026 Salem Scramble
Saturday, Sept. 26
Registration Opens August 2026
See What the Excitement is All About
The Salem Scramble is an annual community celebration and obstacle race designed for Salem students in grades 1 through 8. Held on the Salem High School athletic fields, the event transforms the grounds into an action-packed course featuring more than 20 wildly entertaining challenges—including climbing walls, hay bale hurdles, and the ever-popular mud pit!
It’s more than just a race—it’s a full community festival. While the kids tackle the course, families can explore "Vendor Alley," a vibrant, carnival-like area featuring local businesses, civic organizations, free activities, games, and giveaways.
Sponsor an Obstacle
Be Part of the Action
Members of the Salem Exchange Club weren't sure what to expect when they signed up as one of the first Obstacle Sponsors. But as the scramblers approached their obstacle, the excitement started to grow. Being part of the action was so rewarding, they requested the same obstacle for this year.
Don't let the Exchange Club have all the fun. Sign your organization up today to sponsor one of the 20+ obstacles and see first-hand what makes the Salem Scramble so special.
Reserve Free Booth Space
Promote Your Organization
Karate International was one of 30 booths providing fun activities, games, samples, and information--all at no cost to the organization or the families. This aspect of the Scramble has become more and more popular and connects local businesses and organizations with members of the community.
Booth space is limited, so sign up for your 10x10 spot before there's no more space. It's free. Just bring a EZ-up and something fun or tasty for kids and parents.
Become a Gold Sponsor
Sponsor the Scramble
Our Gold Sponsors ($500 Contributions) help defray the costs of the event and keep registration fees affordable so everyone can participate. We couldn't continue to provide professional timing services and new improved obstacles without their support.
For those who can't volunteer their time, this is a great way to support the effort and have your logo on the event T-shirt and other online and print Scramble promotions.
