We are excited to introduce the 2020 Summer Swamp Series! The Summer Swamp Series will consist of four 5K races held at the beautiful Ascot Shooting Club in East Palatka, FL. Come walk, jog, run or race with us on July 11, July 25, August 8 and August 22. Virtual option also available. A time trial (social distancing start) will be used while running on this scenic, dirt road/cross country style course. Live chip timing, custom designed finisher’s medal and post race refreshments will be provided for each race in the series. A bright and bold shirt will be given out at race #4 to those who register for all four races in the series.  Series awards will be presented after race #4 to the top three males and females in each age group.

The 5K will run with a time trial start. Runners will be sent off every 15 seconds. 50 runners maximum will start in each 15 minute time range.
