The Fleet Feet Racing Team from Huntsville had a very successful weekend across the Tennessee Valley, starting early on Saturday in Decatur.  Repeating 1-mile gravel loops for 12 straight hours could only mean one thing; Delano Park Ultra Marathon!  The team has had great success at this event over the years in the 50k, 50M, 12-hour and relay divisions.  This year Rob Youngren lead the way in the 12-hour event, logging 72 miles.  That makes 2 wins in 8 days for Rob as he also posted a low 17 last weekend to win the Beignet Bash 5k in Huntsville.  DeWayne Satterfield was the men's master winner and third place overall as he looped the park 69 times.  David Rawlings assembled a relay team again this year and they finished 4th overall among teams with 72 miles.

Recover from the Holidays 50km

For nearly 20 years, runners have been celebrating New Year's Eve in Huntsville by running laps at the running park in an effort to log a few last minute miles.  Officially dubbed Recover from the Holidays, this "fat ass 50km" is a fun atmosphere for runners to run 3 mile loops around the municipal golf course.  The race is currently directed by Christy Scott of Fleet Feet Racing.

This year the conditions were very favorable and runners took advantage of it.  Erik DeBolt lead the team by logging the 12th fastest time ever on the course with his 3:53:27 and was 4th overall.  Aleisha Chaffin, running her first ever 50km, logged the 7th fastest time for females with a 4:42:55.
