About the Wicked Frosty Four
The course is certified and known for being fast, starting on Charter Street near the historic Charter Street Burying Ground. The terrain is flat the whole way, which suits anyone chasing a strong time. The race goes ahead whatever the weather throws at it, and in Salem in winter, that can mean anything from a clear morning to a full nor'easter.
Proceeds from the race go toward scholarships awarded to area high school seniors, so the entry fee is doing something beyond covering race-day costs. The start area near the burying ground gives the whole thing a distinctly Salem atmosphere, even in the cold.
