Organiser's Description
Merrimack's Rocket City Microthon is a family-friendly fundraising event spoofing a traditional road race. The "race" is across the 383 feet (0.12k) of the Butler Green at Campus 805 in downtown Huntsville. Put on your numbered bib (just like real racers) and race from Straight to Ale to Yellowhammer Brewery. Or vice versa, we're not all that organized.
