Description
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! This year we’re going old school and bringing back the old race format and hill that was once part of the original RFH course. Runners will now run an initial 1 mile out and back followed by 10 repeats of a fun 3.0 mile loop over rolling cross country grass trails that now includes two big hill climbs per loop. 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.
Aid Station
There will be *LIMITED* aid available, and there will be limited volunteer support. Everyone who's been around since the beginning of Recover can look forward to a return to its roots as a low frill, self-sufficient, do your own thing type of race! 🙂
We will have a few essentials available, water, sodas, light snacks, and first aid. Please plan to bring everything you will need to support yourself for the race, including a personal water cup or bottle. There will be limited paper cups at this race. You will have access to your own personal aid station (feel free to bring camp chairs, tables, etc) every 3 miles at the start of a new loop.
