Dizzy Fifties

Dizzy Fifties is a trail event held in Huntsville, Alabama, on November 21, 2026, organized by the Huntsville Track Club. Three distances share the morning: the 50K (31 miles) at 7:00 AM, then the 20-mile and the 10-mile together at 7:15 AM. The name points to a looped format, which means frequent passes through the same aid station and an easy way for friends or crew to follow you.

Loops make pacing simple and pulling out easy, which cuts both ways: the course keeps handing you a chance to stop, so decide your plan before you start and stick to it. The 10-mile is an accessible entry to Alabama trail running, the 20-mile bridges the gap to ultra distance, and the 50K is a realistic first ultra given the late-November temperatures. Build with a long run every other week on rolling, rooty terrain.
