Salamander Scramble 5K Fundraiser
Join Team Salamander for the Salamander Scramble 5K at the Waynesboro Summer Jubilee on July 4th!
Registration OPEN—see form below.
The Salamander Scramble is fundraiser for Buttonwood Nature Center. Funds raised support our programs and community events.
Register with Team Salamander and Scramble in the Kids Fun Run at 7:15 a.m., OR the Firecracker 5K at 7:30 a.m.
Lace up your running/walking shoes and join Team Salamander as we “scramble” around Waynesboro to raise funds for Buttonwood Nature Center. Team members secure funding pledges from friends, family, and co-workers. All athletic levels are welcome.

We hope to see everyone walk, run—or scramble!—in 2026 for Buttonwood Nature Center!
Can’t be with us on race day? You can still register as a Scrambler to support Buttonwood. Walk, Run or Scramble in any location—be sure to send us a picture in your Scramble t-shirt.
(Shirt provided with registration.) “Virtual Scramblers” continue to registration at bottom of page.
As part of Team Salamander, you’ll enjoy the following perks on race day: A team shirt, a cool towel to help you cool off after the finish line, refreshments in our VIP Scramble Tent, and prizes! Buttonwood will cover your Firecracker 5K race fees, a VIP code will be provided upon completion of registration AND with your registration you receive a one-year membership to Buttonwood Nature Center. You’ll receive information by email and get discounts on certain community programs.
There is a grand prize each year to the Scrambler that donates the highest amount to Buttonwood—whether it’s through a large family participating or through raised pledges.
Don’t want to “scramble” but want to help? We need volunteers for flagging—training provided!
