The Wicked Running Register April 2012 • Priceless EST. JAN 2010 The Monday Group Run is Back! Thanks to Susan Keezer Every Monday 6:30PM 11 Glover Street in Salem This is a very low-key fun run that can be anywhere from 1.5 miles on up. As always, the slowest runner will set the pace! If you’re new to running, recovering from something, or would just like to run at an easy pace with some nice people, please come to this run! Directions: Take Lafayette Street to Leach Street, follow Leach almost to the end and take a HARD right onto Glover Street. Susan’s place is the last house on the left. She has two to four parking spaces (depending on whether or not the neighbors have guests), but street parking is also fine on the left side of the street, no sticker needed.

From John Mahoney: As the volunteer coordinator, I give a special thanks to all gel stop volunteers.You were all great. I want everyone to know that the PowerBar Event Manager pulled me aside after the race to say we did an “exceptional” job this year. All of Wicked should be very proud of the contribution we made to this great race.
