Weekend Race Results

Published on April 19, 2011 in race results. 0 Comments

With everyone focused on the Boston Marathon, one might think that the racing world came to pause over this past weekend. This was not the case as Wicked had a strong presence at the Chase the Gorilla 5K in Ipswich and Wicked Runners took on the B.A.A. 5K and the 47th Annual Patriots Day Fun Run as well.

Thank you again to John Mahoney (As if he wasn’t busy enough with being the head volunteer for the Power Gel station) who helped out Tim Short with getting the race results compiled for this post. If you don’t see your name or the race you ran, please email Tim Short and he will update this post to make sure that you are included! Remember to email Tim with all of your results by Sunday night to be included in the Weekend Race Results. This will be even more important as we head into the busy summer racing season.

Boston Marathon Recap – Wicked Style!

Congratulations to all 20 Wicked Runners who finished the 115th Boston Marathon!

21 Wicked Runners started their day in Hopkinton and 21 Wicked Runners finished their day back in Boston after battling the historic Boston Marathon. Some had smiles from ear to ear as each foot step brought them closer to their goal, while others came face to face with the mythical “wall” and the even more menacing Heartbreak Hill that proved to be a challenge. But one thing is certain, everyone from the Wicked Running Club who finished the Boston Marathon should not only be proud of their accomplishment of completing 26.2 miles, but also representing our club and raising money for some outstanding charities! Below are the results of our 20 Boston Marathon finishers, GO WICKED!

Boston Marathon Interview Extravaganza

Published on April 14, 2011 in Boston Marathon Interviews. 0 Comments

Back in September 2010, Wicked Runners from all over the area jumped on their computers to register for the 115th Boston Marathon. Now with just one week to go before the most storied marathon in all of running history, you can start to understand why there was a such a rush to sign up for this race that takes runners from Hopkinton to Boston. The long months of training through mounds of snow are done, race strategies are starting to form and charity runners are raising their last dollars. It’s now time to get excited about getting to the starting line!

Over the next week, wickedrunninglcub.com will be the place to check out Boston Marathon Interviews with members of the Wicked Running Club. For any Wicked Runner who would like to fill out a Boston Marathon Interview sheet, please click here. Then email the form and a picture of yourself (hopefully in Wicked Gear!) to Tim Short.
