From the Organizer
Join us for the Swanzey Gate to Gate 5-K "ish", a scenic run or walk that takes you exactly one time around the beautiful Swanzey Lake. It’s a 5-K "ish" because we prioritized the best lakeside views over a perfect measurement, but the impact of your run is 100% real. All proceeds go directly to the Swanzey Lake Summer Camp fundraiser, providing scholarships and gear for local kids. Whether you’re racing for the finish line or enjoying a brisk lakeside stroll, you’re making a summer of memories possible. Come out, enjoy the loop, and support a great cause!
We will also have a kids fun run for our younger children under 12!! This race is FREE but you will still need to register your child (no charge).
