This year, CRN introduced the Marathon Runners Award in recognition of companies that have made the Fast50 three years in a row. This is no easy feat, as it usually takes at least 20 percent growth to even crack the top 50!
The Marathon Runners were: Adactin Group Alphasys Araza Enable Professional Services Engage Squared ICT Networks Idea 11 Oreta Over the Wire Skyfii Sliced Tech
