About the race

Recover From The Holidays 50K is a year-end ultramarathon held on December 31, 2026 in Huntsville, AL, organized by the Huntsville Track Club. The event is a 50K run at 2151 Airport Rd SW and is the club’s final calendar event for the year.

The course uses a looped format: runners complete ten repeats of an approximately 3.1 mile loop over rolling cross-country grass trails. Each loop includes two significant hill climbs and incorporates the original RFH race hill. The race enforces a strict nine hour cutoff; runners must complete all ten laps within that limit to be included in official results.

Aid on course is limited and will include water, soda, chips, and cookies. Runners may set up a personal aid station at the start of each new loop, roughly every 3.1 miles. A course map is listed as coming soon.

Finishers who complete the ten laps within the cutoff receive a Santa sanctioned hoodie. The overall male and female winners receive a prize hand-picked by jolly old elf himself. Packet pickup is available at the race venue prior to the race. Registration closes on December 28, and available entry pricing is listed at USD 32.93. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
