*8 weeks*

 *Start date: Wednesday, Jan 19th

*This class will focus on building a strong and stabile core in runners of all levels. A strong core will aid in proper running form, reduce fatigue on long runs and races, and help to prevent many injuries that are common to runners. We will incorporate a variety of running-specific strength and flexibility exercises using body weight,

tubes, stability balls and other equipment. Modifications will be given for each exercise for more or less challenge. A side effect may even be brand-new “6 pack abs” for the coming racing season!*

Maybe it was the warm weather, maybe it was all the friendly volunteers, or maybe the Wicked Frosty Four is just the race to be at on New Year’s Day, whatever the reason is, the 4th Annual Wicked Frosty Four smashed it’s own records for registered runners (742) and finishing runners (639).

The race started on Front Street in front of Old Town Hall, but the crowd of runners went all the way back to Washington Street! A few minutes after 10 A.M. runners started their journey through the streets of Salem.

Alex Gomes of Peabody (21:42) and Suzanne Chaves (26:44) of Danvers proved to be a challenge for the rest of the field as they both placed first overall male and female respectively.

Runners were treated to a fun post-race party at Tavern in the Square. While there was the normal bagles, fruit and water for everyone, there was also a buffet for people who were looking for something a little more fulfilling. There was also plenty of beer being served, a runners favorite friend!

Mix 104.1 was also at the Tavern playing music and provided the PA system for the awards ceremony. Speaking of awards, Matt Beals from Tavern in the Square received a special framed Wicked Frosty Four shirt from Co-Race Directors Alison Phelan and Shari Hewson as thanks for the use of the Tavern for the post-race party and generous cash sponsorship.

More stories about the 4th Annual Wicked Frosty Four will be available soon on www.wickedrunningclub.com.  And while you wait for those posts check out the follow photo album on Facebook by Michele Campbell. Photos where taken by her husband, Giff Campbell.
