Wicked Runners took over the Hyannis Marathon and 1/2 Marathon with some awesome results!
The Lovley Ladies of Wicked seemed to be inspired by having Miles Fartlek along for the trip to Hyannis as the female masters (Dawn Cobak, Deb Touchette, Shari Hewson, Donna Greenberg, Kathey Moskal, Debbie Shahidi, Darla Johnson) placed 4th overall, just 13 minutes out of 3rd place. The female open team (Melissa Jaynes, Marie Duignan, Dawn Cobak, Elizabeth Sullivan, Deb Touchette, Shari Hewson, Donna Greenberg) cracked the top 10 with a 9th overall placement. The Mighty Men of Wicked (Dan Sullivan, Stephen Touchette, Anthony Gaglione, Bill Morse) ran to a 19th overall finish in a very competitive male open.
Meanwhile, snowing showing legend Patrick Smith of Dugeon Rock Racing/Wicked finished 32nd of 86 overall at the 6-mi Northeast Federation (New England) Snowshoe Championships. Fellow DRR/Wicked member and all around titan on the snowshoes, Bill Morse also finished 61st . According to Patrick, the race included 1,500ft of climbing (including a 900ft vert – 1.2 mi, and 500ft vert – 0.5mi continuous climbs) over the 6 miles. Tough race but beautiful. Great job guys!

These Wicked Runners look ready for a Half Marathon!
Wicked headed up north over the weekend to participate in the annual Half at the Hamptons. The race is hosted by Loco Running, a New Hampshire-based company that not only offers a line of running shoes but also race direction services.
Leading the way for Wicked was Dave Long who posted a 1:27:17.6 over the 13.1 miles course. Great job to Debbie Shahidi, Susan Goniprow and Jason Carraro and Darla Johnson for outstanding times as well!

The running world was hit with some very important news from the BAA concerning registering and qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Starting with the 2013 edition of the historic race, runners seeking a qualifying time will have to run 5 minutes and 59 seconds faster.
More importantly, there is a new registration timeline for 2012 which all runners should be aware of.
Wicked has started a discussion about these changes on our Facebook Fan page. Join the discussion now and let us know what you think!

The 2011 version of the Grand Prix Series has been determined. There will be many exciting changes this year that we hope leads to greater participation than previous years. A big thank you goes to outgoing co-coordinator Dan Barrett who did an outstanding job last year! T.R. Ramsdell returns as race coordinator, and Rich Tabbut (The Hammer) has stepped up and volunteered to fill the other position.
The Wicked Grand Prix Series is an internal club series where members compete against each other at events chosen by the Board of Directors annually. The purpose of the series is to increase member participation in the club, have fun, and provide opportunities for members to get together at races in the local area. The 2011 race series follows:
