Awesome 3000: Top finishers in each age group
The 2023 Awesome 3000 took place April 29 at Bush's Park in Salem, with nearly 1,900 children from kindergarten through high school participating in the annual fun run.
About 400 volunteers, including many Salem-Keizer Public Schools employees, helped make the 38th annual event a success. It was organized for the first time by the United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley and raised $45,000 for the Salem Keizer Schools Fund.
United Way officials report they have already begun planning for next year. Parents and runners, mark your calendars. The 2024 Awesome 3000 is scheduled for April 27.
Here are the top 50 results by age category, including name, school and time, as posted in the Awesome 3000 results section on RunSignup.com. The list of Unified participants, provided by United Way, are in alphabetical order because no times were kept.
