Mountain Mist 50k results

The Mighty Mountain Mist 50km celebrated the 20th running this weekend in Huntsville atop Monte Sano.

Eric Charette lead the team and was the top local runner, finishing 4th overall with a personal best 4:23:52.  DeWayne Satterfield has now finished all 20 Mountain Mists and was 7th overall.  Running his first Mountain Mist was race director Dink Taylor!  Christy Scott was the top female master's runner and 5th female overall in a personal best time for her as well.  It takes an army of volunteers to put on this race, both in the months leading in and on race day and we are proud of the team members who helped to make this possible.

So many great stories came out of this year that we hope you all join us again in 2015.

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.
