Boston Area Runners - Salem Wicked Half?

Hi!  Has anyone done the Salem Wicked Half?  I'm looking for a half in the fall and am considering Salem.  I tend to like largeish races with at least a few water stops since I don't carry anything with me when I do halfs.  This seems to fit the criteria.  Any opinions?  Any other recommendations?  Anyone planning on running it? 

I'm coming off a series of annoying injuries (stress fractures, PF) so this will be my first half in almost 2 years!  I'm looking forward to a summer of slow and smart training Big Smile   

Re: Boston Area Runners - Salem Wicked Half?

  • No thoughts on Salem, but if you are willing to drive north a bit, the Maine Marathon (half) fits your criteria. I did that last fall and was so impressed with the race course, management and overall experience.

    Hi there - I assume this race takes place sometime close to Halloween?  I live in Boston, and am running my very first half this Sunday - the Boston Run to Remember.  I'm so nervous!  But I've enjoyed my long training runs thus far - if the race day atmosphere, crowds, etc. turn out to be something I enjoy, I'd love to sign up for more races in this area.  If you have others you'd recommend, please share!
