Swamp Trail Race

The Swamp 10k/30k/50k is a beautifully, challenging, single track, trail race with a field limit of 125 racers. The 50k boasts 2,345 feet of elevation gain, the most of any Florida 50k. Wether you want to take on the hills for the sake of enjoyment, or to prepare for mountain races out of state, this is the course for you.

The 10K race is a fundraiser for breast cancer and is known as the Debby10k, run in memory of the RD’s sister, who in November 2021 lost her eight year battle with Metastatic Breast Cancer. Only 20% are expected to live to five years with this aggressive form of cancer, let alone past it, so as you can see she was a fighter and fittingly deserves a race run in her honor that will benefit breast cancer research.

The Swamp Trail Race course is 6.2 mile loop that is flowing, single track with lots of short steep climbs. 10k + runners will run 1 loop. 30k + runners will run 3 loops. 50k + runners will run 5 loops.

It is being held in WINTER, so cold temperatures are to be expected, so come prepared as you will be running at night.

Support Crews are optional. Two aid stations will be available each 6.2 mi loop. The other at 3 miles will be manned also. Both with water and electrolyte fluids and minimal prepackaged foods. Runners are primarily responsible for their own race fueling beyond hydration due to county COVID-19 required procedures. Those with a support crew / pacers will have to access runners by foot at main aid station as trail head parking lot will be open to cars but will fill quickly and other entry is off busy main road ie Colbert Ln. There will be stretches of up to 3 miles between aid stations.

Pacers will be allowed for the last 2 loops of 50k race and dark evening portion of 100k race. All runners will be required to run with a hydration vest or bottle as this will be a green race and waste will be kept to a minimum.

SWAMP is a chip timed race which will be provided by MCM Timing! However we still suggest that all runners wear a GPS watch to track their distance and for location purposes should they get lost. All runners must carry hydration bottle or pack!

Price will include shirt, aid station faire, post race meal and finisher’s award.

There will be overall male/female, masters male/female, and finishers awards for each race.

Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm!
