More photos and a list of top finishers at the 2024 Awesome 3000 at Bush's Pasture Park

The 2024 Awesome 3000 took place April 27 at Bush's Pasture Park in Salem, with nearly 2,300 children from kindergarten through high school participating in the annual fun run.

About 400 volunteers supported the 39th annual event, which is organized by the United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley and raises money for the Salem-Keizer School Fund.

The fund, managed by the United Community Foundation, provides grants to teachers and programs.

Organizers already are planning for next year, the 40th event, although no date has been finalized. The 2025 Awesome 3000 will be scheduled for late April or early May.

Here are some of the top results in each race category, including name, time and school, as provided by organizers. For more results, visit the event results page online.

Note: The 368 pre-K participants and 61 Unified Sports participants were not timed.
