Wicked Half Marathon

The Wicked Half Marathon takes place in historic Salem, Massachusetts, with a course through Salem Willows and past Marblehead. The USATF-certified half marathon draws about 1,000 runners of all levels, from elites to beginners, and features a 4-hour time cap. Runners enjoy ample aid stations every 1.5–2 miles, volunteers along the course, and a scenic route that showcases the area’s waterfront and historic streets.

Finisher medals, custom long-sleeve shirts for early registrants, and post-race festivities—beer, mimosas, snacks—are part of the celebration. Proceeds support local charities; sponsors include Tache Realty and Witch City Walking Tours. Cheerful volunteers enhance the festive atmosphere.
