One of my favorite events of the summer is the Salem Summer Solstice 10k / 5k held in the evening on the longest day of each year. The event seems to get bigger every year and Minto Brown Island Park, a large area itself, seems to become smaller and more intimate as the Willamette Valley running community comes out in droves.Both distances start at the same spot on a paved path. BEWARE – Don’t expect to start…
