Talk about an amazing morning at Forest River Park! The 2nd Annual Wicked Kidz Race took place this past Saturday, July 17 with amazing performances by the 85 kids that participated. Even though the sun was beating down on the kids, everyone pushed and gave it their all in either the half mile race or mile race.
Once again, Salem Park & Rec Department and the Wicked Running Club teamed up to put on a great event that really resembled an actual road race and not just a kids race. All participants received a finishers ribbon at the finish line, but the overall male and female winner of each race got a very nice trophy, while the top three in each age group got medals. There was even a temporary tattoo station featuring the Wicked Kidz race logo!
Coming back for a second year as the main sponsor was Chic-fil-A of Peabody. They brought tasty chicken nuggets and of course the awesome Chic-fil-A Cow! Kids were also treated to fruit, Pirates Bounty popcorn, Gatorade and water.
Taking the helm as Race Director again was Doug Bollen who had plenty of volunteers on hand from the Wicked Running Club to make sure the race was well organized thus ensuring all the kids would have a blast!
With the great success of the first two Wicked Kidz Races, it’s safe to say that Salem Park & Rec along with the Wicked Running Club will be hosting the 3rd Annual Wicked Kidz Race in July of 2011.
