21st Annual Derby Street Mile
Join Salem Park, Recreation and Community Services for the 21st Annual Derby Street Mile Road Race! This fun, family-driven event takes place on Friday, August 14th. The race begins on Fort Ave. near the Cat Cove Marina and runs straight up Derby Street, ending near the Salem Maritime Site.

Anticipate road closures in the Derby Street area.
