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:
For race participants, the Patagonia Store located at:
235 W. Santa Clara St
Ventura, CA 93001
Is excited to offer a 25% off discount if racers bring their bib into the store. This is a onetime use offer on full priced Patagonia items only and valid from 11/15/2026 through 11/22/2026.
Packet pickup will begin at 7:30AM on Sunday, November 15
THERE WILL NOT BE DAY-OF REGISTRATION FOR THE SALMON RUN. ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER ONLINE, WHICH CLOSES AT NOON ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10th OR WHEN THE RACE SELLS OUT
