About the CATCH THE WAVE PINEAPPLE RUN
The course crosses open athletic fields before ducking into the woods, where maintained trails wind through the trees with solid footing underfoot. A small lake sits along the route, and the shaded stretches keep things cool. The terrain moves between open and wooded sections, so there is a little variety without any serious technical challenge.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at a location on Lake Road in Huntsville, with race-morning pickup available for those who cannot make it. After the race, the post-race area turns into a driving safety expo with police, fire, and EMS vehicles on display, plus concessions and a sno cone truck.
