From the Organizer
Patagonia is excited to announce the 30th Annual Salmon Run, to be held November 15, 2026.
This year marks the 30th Annual running of the salmon and we are going to make it better than ever. As a reminder, this race always sells out, so make sure you get your registration in.
We will be deciding this year's race beneficiary as we get closer to the race and will update here!
Additionally, we want the Salmon Run to be a Zero-Waste-Event to mitigate sending anything to the waste stream that doesn't have to. We will send out details on how to prepare for this closer to the day of the race, but plan to bring your own water bottle and coffee mug.
Please note:

235 W. Santa Clara St
Ventura, CA 93001
