Sponsors were Progress Bank and Old Town Beer Exchange. The event is the first of four that comprise the Huntsville Slam. Along with Dizzy Fifties, those vying for the Slam title must finish the Rocket City Marathon, Recover From the Holidays 50K and Mountain Mist 50K. The best aggregate time earns Slam honors for the top male and female competitor.
