With just hours left before the 3rd Annual Wicked Frosty Four, members from the Wicked Running Club and Students from the Salem Academy Charter School got together to stuff bags for the race with numbers, Frosty Four shirts and other goodies.
If you pre-registered for the Wicked Frosty Four you can pick up your bag today from 10am-5pm at New England Running Company, which is located at 43 Enon Street, Beverly MA 01915.

I hope everyone in Wicked Nation is having a wonderful Christmas! Did Santa bring you everything that you wanted? Here is the the latest Wicked Weekly Update. Have some Eggnog and enjoy!
We are just one week away for the 3rd Annual Wicked Frosty Four! I know I’m pretty excited about the race and I hope you are as well! There is still time to register for the race, so swing by active.com and sign up soon.
And Finally, this will be the last edition of the of the Wicked Weekly Updated. I’ve enjoyed putting together this newsletter over the past couple months. Beth O’Grady will be the new Newsletter Editor for Wicked. She has some really great ideas for our brand new Wicked Running Register Newsletter. Here is the email that she sent out a few days ago:
Hello All,
As of January 2010, there’s a new newsletter editor in town.
The Wicked Running Register will be a monthly collaborative publication by and for club members. You’ll still get weekly race results & updates from the Club, but our newsletter will be a monthly collection of contributions of any type from photos to PR kudos to random silly stuff. Please see the January contribution form attached. You can send an email with comments on any of the sections to newsletter@wickedrunningclub.com.
If you are unable to open a PDF, drop me a note and I’ll send it to you as a word doc. January’s contribution deadline is December 28. Don’t make me look lame on my debut publication… send some stuff along!
Thanks everyone,
Beth O’Grady

Anyone that is interested in donating toys or gift cards can now drop them off at New England Running Co. in Beverly!
This year, in conjunction with the Greater Salem Boys & Girls Club & New England Running Company, Wicked Running Club is sponsoring a toy drive for its members. Here are the details for donating new toys to underprivileged children, of all ages, this holiday season:
The toy drive has started and will end on December 20th. Toys should be new and unwrapped. Gift cards would be great for the older kids. The Board recommends donating toys in the amount of $10 and greater.
Wicked will be donating the toys/gift cards to the Greater Salem Boys & Girls Club. Toys can be dropped off at Tues/Thurs runs with Alison Phelan or Saturday morning with Tim Short, or any other Board member present for the Saturday run. Gift cards to places like Target and Wal-Mart are great for older kids and young teens as people normally think of a toy drive for just young kids. Continue reading ‘Holiday Toy Drive’
Only two weeks remain until the 3rd Annual Wicked Frosty Four takes place! If you haven’t signed up yet you can do so at active.com until December 30th.
Don’t forget that December 20th is last day for the 1st Wicked Holiday Toy Drive. New unwrapped toys or gift cards can be dropped off to Tim Short on Saturday December 19th at the Saturday Morning Run at Forest River Park in Salem or on December 20th at New England Running Company in Beverly. All toys and gift cards will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem. Thank you to everyone who has already donated a toy or gift card to this wonderful event!
