Members of Wicked headed down to Hopkinton over the past weekend to get a taste of the first half of the Boston Marathon. Starting at the official starting line of the Marathon, the group finished just after Wellesley College. A good time was had by all and enjoyed a well deserved lunch at Blue Ribbon BBQ in Newton. Interested in running the next 13.1 miles? Look for an email from Tim Clarke very soon about the next road trip to finish the Boston Marathon…in two bites!

The Wicked Running Club has teamed up with the North Shore Medical Center for the 1st Annual North Shore Cancer Run! The  5K race will take place on June 20, 2010 at 11 am, and will start and finish at the Salem Willows. If the date of the race sounds familiar to you, that’s because it’s also the same day as the NSMC Cancer Walk. This year the Cancer Walk will be celebrating it’s 2oth Anniversary and adding a 5K race to the event will make this day even more special!

More information about the race will be released soon. B&S Fitness Event Managment will be the official timing company for the race. Check out their website at bnsfitness.com.

The North Shore Cancer Run has also gone social! Keep up with the latest news and info on Facebook & Twitter.

Wicked Receives Community Partnership Award!

Published on January 30, 2010 in Wicked Events. 0 Comments

At the recent Salem Park & Recreation Commission Awards Ceremony, the Wicked Running Club received the Community Partnership Award for its outstanding contribution to the Park and Recreation Department in 2009. Back in 2008 Wicked received the Innovative Program Award after bursting onto the scene with a hit road race…the Wicked Frosty Four! At that point Wicked had just about 70 members. Fast forward to 2010 and the club now has close to 250 members! Wicked has partnered up with the Park and Recreation Department on many activities around Salem including the Wicked Kidz 1/2 Mile & Mile Race and a community movie night. With so much momentum going Wicked’s way right now, its an exciting time to be a member. This award is an amazing honor and one that should make every Wicked Runner proud.
