About the race

The Recover From The Holidays 50K is scheduled for December 31, 2026 in Huntsville, AL, organized by the Huntsville Track Club and held near 2151 Airport Rd SW. The event is a 50K run made up of repeated loops on a marked cross-country course.

Runners complete ten repeats of an approximately 3.1 mile loop on rolling grass trails. Each loop includes two large hill climbs and uses a section known as the old race hill from the original RFH course.

Aid is limited and will include water, soda, chips, and cookies. Participants may use a personal aid station at the start of each loop, roughly every 3.1 miles, and may bring their own chairs or small tables for that purpose.

The event enforces a strict nine hour cutoff; only runners who complete all ten laps within the official cutoff are included in the results. Finishers who meet the cutoff receive a Santa sanctioned hoodie. Overall male and female winners receive a prize selected by the event.

Additional notes in the event listing mention a course map as coming soon, packet pickup available at the race venue on race day, and an entry fee listed as USD 32.93. Registration is listed as closing on December 28. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
