Wrap up the year with all of your running friends! Recover From The Holidays is an old fashion, low-frills, budget-friendly 50Km run each year on New Years Eve; but don’t let the low key nature of this race fool you, it’s no cake walk! In keeping with our usual format, runners will run 10 repeats of a fun 3.1 mile loop over rolling cross country grass trails. This race is the final event in the calendar year for the Huntsville Track Club and a great way to wrap up your ultrarunning season. There is a strict 8 hour cut off time; no runners will be allowed to start a new lap after 3:30 PM and anyone finishing after 4:00 pm will not be counted in the official results. Race starts at 8 AM.
Course Description
The 50km course consists of 10 loops of the figure-8 shaped 3.1 mile course at the Landtrust Chapman Mountain preserve. The footing is a mixture of some single track trail, hard packed dirt with rocks and roots, with some short sections on crushed stone. The course runs on various trails located on the Chapman mountain preserve. The miles are marked with signs and the arrows along the course guide runners which direction to take. Runners will have access to bathrooms, an aid station, their own aid (should they bring it), and a covered pavillion each loop. Runners will pass by the main pavillion area twice on the loop which makes this a great spectator friendly event for your friends and family (if you can convince them to come stand out in the cold!)
